Speaker:

Katherine A Stamatakis, PhD, MPH, is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at Saint Louis University College for Public Health and Social Justice. Through her research, teaching and service endeavors she seeks to build cross-cutting synergies in chronic disease epidemiology, implementation science, and practice-based research in public health settings. Her work is driven by the belief that to achieve long-term changes in chronic disease prevention and health equity there must be sustainable structures in communities and robust interaction between evidence generated from practice and research settings.
