The BEMICELU project has been running in Mérida, Mexico since January 2010. We aim to identify several components of early life malnutrition that lead to health impairments (especially overweight/obesity) in adulthood.
The project leader is Dr Inês Varela-Silva (http://myprofile.cos.com/inesvs)
The other members are:
Prof Barry Bogin (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ssehs/staff/academic/barry-bogin.html)
Dr. Federico Dickinson (http://www.mda.cinvestav.mx/personal_eco/dickinson.htm)
Ms Hannah Wilson (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ssehs/staff/research-students/hannah-wilson.html)
Mr Hugo Azcorra (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ssehs/staff/research-students/hugo-azcorra.html).
We are based at the Centre for Global Health and Human Development - Loughborough University (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ssehs/research/centres-institutes/global-health/index.html) and at the Centre for Human Ecology - CINVESTAV Mérida, Mexico (http://www.mda.cinvestav.mx/eh02.htm).
This project has been financed by the Wenner-Gren Foundation (http://www.wennergren.org/) and by the Santander Bank.
