She is also Chair for the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Research Committee and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Nutrition.

Dr. Woo Baidal’s health services research program aims to improve health for all children, with a focus on reducing childhood obesity.

She has shown the vital role of early life factors on chronic disease prevention, including the promise of 'food as prevention' for infants in households with food insecurity.
