Tamara Bodnar is an Assistant Professor in the Azrieli Accelerator and conducts research in Transdisciplinary Neurodevelopment. She is affiliated with the Alberta Children's Hospital Research Institute at the Owerko Centre. Her primary research interests revolve around the developmental origins of health and disease, focusing on understanding how early environmental influences affect health throughout the lifespan, with particular emphasis on risk versus resilience. Key areas of interest include the gut-brain-immune axis, brain development, immune function, and neurodegeneration. Bodnar utilizes translational approaches and animal models to explore these mechanisms, particularly in clinical populations, while also considering social determinants of health and examining outcomes from early life into older adulthood. Her research extends into community levels, where she aims to establish partnerships with Indigenous communities to explore relevant health outcomes.
