Mrs Laura Cornelsen

Associate Professor

United Kingdom

My research interests focus on understanding linkages between public health and food systems changes, including the role of food prices as well as health-related food policies in influencing health and environmental outcomes. I work with large disaggregated household food and beverage expenditure data but also have an interest in experimental methods for the prospective analysis of policy effects.

I am a co-director of Population Health Innovation Lab (PHI-Lab) and part of the Global Health Economics Centre (GHECO).
