Dr. Villamor's research focuses primarily on the nutritional determinants of maternal and child health.

His current research interests span a wide range of topics at the intersection of nutritional, reproductive, and infectious diseases epidemiology.  They include studies of the impact of maternal obesity on pregnancy outcomes, the influence of perinatal and early life exposures on immunity in the offspring, the burden and etiology of childhood obesity in developing countries, and the role of nutritional factors on outcomes related to infectious diseases.
