Scott R. Lambert, MD
Professor of Ophthalmology and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research has focused on improving the visual outcomes of children with congenital cataracts. I organized a randomized clinical trial, the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study to compare the visual outcomes of infants optically corrected with a contact lens vs. an intraocular lens after unilateral cataract surgery. A second area of research has been ocular growth after cataract surgery.

Eric Lambin
George and Setsuko Ishiyama Provostial Professor and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study human-environment interactions in land systems by linking remote sensing, GIS and socio-economic data. I aim at better understanding causes and impacts of changes in tropical forests, drylands, and farming systems. I currently focus on land use transitions – i.e., the shift from deforestation (or land degradation) to reforestation (or land sparing for nature), – the influence of globalization on land use decisions, and the interactions between public and private governance of land use.

Nathalie Lambrecht
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Lambrecht's research aims to address malnutrition and environmental degradation from two angles: (1) evaluating climate-resilient agricultural strategies to improve global food security, nutrition, and health, and (2) assessing approaches to promote consumption of healthy and sustainable diets.
Climate-resilient agriculture for human health: Across various countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, Dr. Lambrecht investigates small-scale crop and livestock agroecology as a win-win strategy to benefit human nutrition, the environment, and households’ resilience to climate change. Her current work aims to understand whether integrated crop-livestock rearing can buffer the potential negative impacts of climate shocks on children's growth in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi, and Uganda. During her PhD, Dr. Lambrecht examined linkages between household livestock ownership and anemia in children in southern Ghana, investigating the hypothesis that rearing livestock could alleviate anemia by providing a source of micronutrient-rich animal-source foods, yet could also exacerbate anemia by exposing children to zoonotic pathogens. Dr. Lambrecht has also worked on a large-scale homestead food production trial in Bangladesh, examining impacts on agricultural production, and children's and women's diets and health.
Healthy and sustainable diets: Shifting diets towards sustainable and healthy plant-forward dietary patterns is essential for mitigating climate change, reducing biodiversity loss and habitat destruction, and reducing non-communicable chronic diseases. Dr. Lambrecht is a lead researcher of the NURISHD (NURsing home and hospital food service – Implementation of Healthy and Sustainable Diets) study. This research project examines the environmental footprint and nutritional quality of food service in German healthcare institutions and evaluates the feasibility of shifting dietary patterns toward the Planetary Health Diet.
