Dr. Davis is a Professor of Pediatrics at the USDA/ARS Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Her research focuses on the nutritional regulation of protein metabolism and growth in early life. She is investigating the mechanisms by which nutrients, hormones, and growth factors regulate protein deposition during growth and development. Current studies are identifying the molecular mechanism by which leucine regulates protein synthesis and growth, determining the impact of prematurity on the anabolic response to nutrition, and developing new strategies to enhance protein synthesis and deposition in skeletal muscle of the neonate.
