Our Work

The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Nutrition in Jordan (JNIL) aims to generate evidence on the impact of USAID Jordan’s Community Health and Nutrition activity and build academic capacity to support research on optimal health and nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and children under two in Jordan. This will be achieved through successful implementation of two key objectives:

  • Objective 1: includes a rigorous research agenda, including an impact evaluation of the impact of USAID Jordan’s Community Health and Nutrition (CHN) activity, and,
  • Objective 2: aims at building individual and institutional capacity in Jordan to conduct and interpret research and train future nutritionists in the realm of maternal and infant young child nutrition.

 Wednesday, March 15th , 2023 | 2:30-3:30 PM Jordan Time | 7:30-8:30 AM EST

Description

In this webinar, we will discuss the current knowledge on how maternal obesity impacts children’s neurodevelopment and its developmental origin. We will review the epidemiological associations between maternal obesity and childhood neurodevelopmental disorders and their potential underlying mechanisms. In this webinar, we will also discuss recent studies, including Tarui Laboratory, to investigate the impact of maternal obesity on fetal and neonatal brain development by utilizing advanced fetal and neonatal brain neuroimaging technologies.
