Dr. Gregg's research focuses on perinatal programming of metabolic diseases, including how early-life nutrient stressors and maternal metabolic health influence offspring risk for obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Her work combines animal models and human mother-infant cohorts to study molecular mechanisms in pancreatic beta-cell expansion, adipose tissue, and liver function.

Recent publications highlight her studies on maternal nutrition (e.g., DHA enrichment, Mediterranean diet), diabetes treatment (GLP-1/GIP agonists), and the impact of gestational BPA exposure on islet development. The Gregg lab investigates lactation-period nutrient stressors and their long-term effects on metabolic health.
