Work with Dr. ir. Trudy Voortman | NotedSource
Trained as a nutrition scientist (Molecular Nutrition,
Wageningen UR) and epidemiologist (Nutritional
Epidemiology, Erasmus University), my current research and
teaching focus on the impact of nutrition, lifestyle other
environmental factors on population health across the
lifecourse. I lead the Nutrition & Lifestyle research
group and I am vice-chair of the Department of
Epidemiology at Erasmus University Medical Center. My
team's research involves systematic reviews and
meta-analyses; and analyses of data from cohort studies
and biobanks, including the Rotterdam Study and Generation
R Study cohorts in which I am principal investigator.
Since 2023, I combine my role at Erasmus MC with a
research fellowship at the Meta-Research Innovation Center
at Stanford (METRICS), where I focus on improving research
methods and meta-research in the fields of nutrition and
lifestyle epidemiology. I have supervised many PhD
students (11 graduated) and postdocs, have published over
200 scientific papers and book chapters (H-index 49), and
teach in several courses on research methodology and
preventive medicine. Publications:
