Astrid Nicole Zamora
Postdoctoral Scholar, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
BioDr. Astrid N. Zamora (she/ella) is a public health researcher and epidemiologist. Her work to date has utilized robust birth cohort data to examine associations between diet intake, exposure to environmental pollutants with subsequent sleep, and metabolic health outcomes among Latinx populations.
Following her Master of Public Health degree at UC Berkeley School of Public Health, Dr. Zamora completed her PhD at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. As a doctoral trainee at Michigan, her dissertation research, funded by a Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research from NIH/NIEHS, focused on examining the interplay between diet, environmental pollutant exposure, sleep, and metabolic health among pubertal adolescents and peri-menopausal women from Mexico City.
As a current NHLBI T32 postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Zamora is receiving training in RCT study design and learning how to integrate citizen science approaches, thereby ensuring that her research 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.
