Postdoctoral Fellow, Research Assistant Professor
NYU School of Global Public Health
Dr. Filippa Juul is a nutrition and chronic disease epidemiologist. Her primary research interest is the influence of diet in the development of obesity and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Juul's research to date has used data from large US population studies (the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the FoodAPS National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey, and the Framingham Heart study) to investigate dietary patterns in relation to diet quality, obesity and cardiovascular health. In her current position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the NYU School of Global Public Health, Dr. Juul is being trained in implementation science and policy research in order to translate the findings of her epidemiological investigations into effective public health measures for cardiovascular disease prevention. Dr. Juul's long-term objective is to deepen the understanding of nutritional factors in chronic disease development and generate policy-relevant research to inform effective public health measures for disease prevention, with a specific focus on reducing health disparities.
