OverviewAI-generated summary
Aline Andres investigates the complex interplay between maternal health, nutrition, and infant development, with a particular focus on the role of the gut microbiome and human milk oligosaccharides. Her research has explored how maternal overweight and obesity influence offspring growth and gut microbial composition during the first year of life. Andres has also examined the associations between maternal diet, body composition, and gut microbial ecology during pregnancy.
Her work extends to understanding the broader context of human health and diet, including a perspective on ultra-processed foods and the U.S. food system. Additionally, Andres has contributed to understanding the immunological aspects of human milk, specifically investigating the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and IgA antibodies in milk from mothers diagnosed with COVID-19. She has also conducted systematic reviews on digital intervention strategies for increasing physical activity in preschoolers and explored the relationship between placental PFAS concentrations and DNA methylation.
Andres is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 35 and over 229 publications. She leads a research group and maintains an active lab website. Her key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include Clark Sims, Elisabet Børsheim, Sarah Sobik, and Sree V. Chintapalli, with whom she has co-authored numerous publications.
