Louisa Gnatiuc Friedrichs
BA, DLSHTM, MSc, DPhil
Senior Epidemiologist
With experience in acute medicine, epidemiology and public health in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, Louisa is passionate about improving health at population level. Trained in epidemiology and population health at the University of Oxford and in public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, she co-ordinated British, European and Global epidemiological studies with Imperial College London and the Medical Research Council.
The current work focuses on the effects of adiposity and related preventable risk factors for premature mortality, such as diabetes and hypertension in the Mexico City Prospective Study, the Prospective Studies Collaboration and the UK Biobank. As she is particularly interested in producing evidence from countries where the burden of vasculo-metabolic risk is increasing, she collaborates with multi-national research programs, including 40 world-wide sites from the BOLD study. Other interests include novel vasculo-metabolic risk factors and disease models, translation of research findings into public health policy, and teaching.
Expertise includes design, conduct and analysis of large multi-centric surveys, cohort studies, biobanks, and follow-up through surveillance and vital registries. Previous roles involves advisory for the Department of Health, Pharma, and the Lancet Global Health..
Outside work, she likes arts, photography and world cuisines.
