Nathalie Lambrecht is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Climate Change and Health working group as part of Research Department 2 at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). She is also a Research Associate at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Institute of Public Health.
Nathalie completed her PhD in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her dissertation investigated linkages between household livestock ownership and anemia among young Ghanaian children, assessing both the nutritional benefits of animal-source food consumption and the infectious disease risks of exposure to enteric pathogens from animal feces.
Her research interests include linkages between child undernutrition, diets, and infection, the role of small-holder livestock agriculture in sustainable food systems, and the intersection of diet and planetary health. She aims to conduct research that promotes human nutrition and health within ecologically sustainable food systems.
