Bridging Science and Action for Asia’s Children

The first years of a child’s life shape their health, learning, and future well-being. Yet across Asia, millions of children face challenges in nutrition, behaviour, and development that are often overlooked.

The Asia Behaviour & Child Nutrition Lab (ABC lab) bridges research and practice: we translate rigorous scientific findings into clear, actionable guidance for parents, educators, and policymakers, while providing global scholars with opportunities to collaborate on Asia-focused research.

Our goal is simple but profound: to turn evidence into meaningful impact — strengthening families, nurturing children, and informing policies that create healthier societies across Asia.
