Yuri Suzuki is a PhD candidate at the department of Epidemiology & Data Science at Amsterdam UMC. She has a background in Nutritional and Public Health Epidemiology. Her research focuses on the relationship between the built environment (food and physical activity) and the risk of type 2 diabetes, using causal inference approaches.
Yuri is also a member of the Young Investigator Committee (YIC) in the Exposome-NL consortium. In addition to her own research, she aims to promote healthier living environments by fostering collaboration within the consortium and supporting early-career researchers like herself through committee activities.
I hope to apply causal inference to better understand built environments and type 2 diabetes risk and promote healthier environments.

The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
