Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Stanford University School of Medicine
Dr. Astrid N. Zamora is a public health researcher and epidemiologist. Her work has primarily utilized robust birth cohort data to examine how dietary patterns and environmental pollutants are associated with health outcomes among adolescents and midlife women. As a current NHLBI T32 postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Zamora is receiving training in RCT study design and citizen science methods, learning how to bridge her training in epidemiology with community-based research approaches, thereby ensuring that her research agenda maintains a meaningful connection to the community and its real-world context. The goal of her current research, bolstered by her previous and ongoing training, is to explore the interconnections between diet, the built environment, and physical activity. She is particularly focused on understanding how these factors relate to psychosocial and cardiometabolic health amongst Latinx communities across the life course.
