Jana Anderson is a Research Fellow in the Public Health Unit at the University of Glasgow, with a keen interest in understanding what constitutes a healthy and sustainable diet. She has developed a strong foundation in research knowledge and experience throughout her diverse academic journey, which began with undergraduate studies in Zoology focusing on animal behavior, followed by a Master’s in Medical Parasitology and Epidemiology. During her research project in tropical parasitology, she was awarded a position in a four-year Wellcome-funded PhD program that focused on Molecular Functions of Disease. Her current research interests lie in Nutritional Epidemiology, particularly in exploring diet-related risk factors impacting chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Her approach often involves using large existing datasets, such as those from the UK Biobank, to apply nutritional epidemiology research methods. Additionally, she is interested in the environmental impacts of dietary choices and aims to identify strategies to improve health outcomes while decreasing the environmental footprint associated with food production and consumption.
