We are training the next generation of researchers
The Maternal and Child Nutrition (MCN) training program in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University, is funded by a training grant from the National Institutes of Health (NICDH). This is the longest-standing training program in maternal and child nutrition in the country. It brings together faculty across the disciplinary spectrum of nutrition – including molecular nutrition, human nutrition and metabolism, community nutrition, and international nutrition – to advance the nutrition and health of mothers and children.
About
Improving the health of mothers and young children remains a public health priority in the US and other countries around the world. To achieve national and international goals, new knowledge is needed to develop new solutions to their health problems and translate these solutions into feasible programs.
opportunities
We are currently accepting applications for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral MCN trainees
trainers
The program is delivered by core faculty from the Division of Nutritional Sciences, each with successful track records as mentors and differing yet complementary skills in a wide range of disciplines including genomics, molecular biology, human physiology and metabolism, and epidemiology.
