The research from the Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Group (Dr Sullivan) has focussed on the nutritional requirements of neurologically disabled children. Currently, a trial of a neurotropic dietary supplement designed to mitigate the effects of perinatal brain damage is underway. Other work includes the measurement of body composition in infants with intrauterine growth retardation and in those on long term parenteral nutrition.
