Dr Gill Harris
Senior Lecturer in Applied Developmental Psychology, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham and Consultant Paediatric Clinical Psychologist, The Children`s Hospital, Birmingham.

Gill is primarily interested in the development of taste preference in infancy, and the subsequent development of food acceptance and rejection in early childhood. She heads a research team at the University of Birmingham, investigating topics such as sensitive periods for weaning onto solid foods, and the stages of rejection of food, which occur from the age of one to five years. She also works on abnormal feeding patterns in children, which may be caused by, or linked to, medical problems or developmental delay.
