Research Interests

Dr. Duggan's major research interests include 1) the nutritional management of acute and persistent diarrhea, 2) micronutrient trials in developing countries, and 3) general aspects of energy and protein metabolism in catabolism. He has performed a number of clinical trials in the field of infant and child nutrition, and has field experience in South America, Asia and Africa. Current studies utilize stable isotopes, indirect calorimetry, and body composition methodologies to evaluate nutritional status in patients with catabolic illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, short bowel syndrome and cancer.
