Alexandra Kalbus

I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Public Health, Environments and Society. I am a public health researcher using quantitative methods to understand key drivers of population-level diets and how policies can be employed to improve dietary health in the UK. I hold a PhD in public health from LSHTM, which examined the relationship between the neighbourhood food environment and food and drink purchasing in England, and how this relationship changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the PhD, I completed an undergraduate and master's degree in Health Sciences, which equipped me with skills across multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, health economics, medicine, statistics, ethics, public health, occupational health and health promotion. I am currently involved in an NIHR SPHR-funded evaluation of the calorie labelling regulations implemented in England in April 2022.
