Content

The Moran Lab is seeking healthy infants, 4 months and younger, for a study that will determine if a rapid, skin sensor measurement can determine infants' intake of colorful compounds from fruits and vegetables. This kind of technological advance could revolutionize doctors' and researchers' ability to quickly assess children's food intake.

No special eating guidelines are involved, families just feed their infants as they normally would and visit with our team several times during early infancy and toddlerhood.
