Research Interests
Dr. Fawzi's research group focuses on examining the role of nutritional and other factors in the etiology of adverse health outcomes among populations in developing countries, with emphasis on infectious and perinatal outcomes among mothers and children. His group has conducted several large randomized controlled trials to examine the efficacy of various micronutrient supplements on the incidence and severity of a number of infectious diseases including pneumonia, diarrhea, tuberculosis, and HIV infection. A recent trial in Africa documented a significant beneficial effect of periodic vitamin A supplementation on child mortality. Another large clinical trial showed that prenatal multivitamin supplementation of HIV-infected women resulted in large and significant reductions in the risk of fetal loss, low birth weight, and severe prematurity. As part of the HIV Prevention Trials Network at NIH the team is engaged in examining strategies for reducing perinatal and heterosexual transmission of infection.
