A member of the Global Diet and Physical Activity Network, he is currently PI on two NIH funded grants –the LIFE study to understand the role of biology, environment and lifestyle on the risk factors for NCDs in Caribbean populations and the CATCH study to improve hypertension care in Jamaica and Colombia.
His research interests include the identification of risk factors for chronic diseases throughout the life course and improving approaches for the prevention & treatment of these disorders.
