Dr. Katherine Sauder is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Nutrition at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and the Assistant Director for Translation Research at the Lifecourse Epidemiology of Adiposity and Diabetes (or LEAD) Center. She completed her doctoral training in biobehavioral health at Penn State University, and her postdoctoral fellowship in nutrition at the University of Colorado. Dr. Sauder’s research examines how nutrition and other health behaviors are related to chronic disease risk in women and children. She uses both observational and intervention methods to identify and target health behaviors that can reduce risk for diabetes and obesity, with on-going projects spanning the transgenerational cycle from pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and the child-bearing years.
