OverviewAI-generated summary
Aline Andres's research focuses on the intersection of maternal health, infant development, and nutrition. Her work investigates the impact of maternal obesity on placental health, including the role of lipotoxicity and inflammation in pregnancy outcomes. Andres has also studied the effects of different infant feeding methods, such as breast milk, cow's milk formula, and soy formula, on infant microbiota, metabolome profiles, and developmental status.
Her publications also explore broader aspects of child health, including brain development in relation to weight status. Andres has a significant publication record, with over 230 publications and a citation count of 3,750, contributing to her h-index of 35. She is recognized as a highly cited researcher and leads an active research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, collaborating with colleagues including Clark Sims, Elisabet Børsheim, Sarah Sobik, and Xiawei Ou.
