Sabri Bromage
I am a nutritional epidemiologist focusing on developing and scaling-up tools, methods, and institutional capacity for conducting population nutrition surveys in low- and middle-income countries, with emphasis on dietary assessment, quantitative methods, and hypothesis-generating approaches. My second area of interest involves environmental nutrition, studying relationships between human nutrition and the environment (generalized to include natural and food environments) and nutritional ecology (the flow of nutrients between ecological media) at multiple geospatial and ecological scales.
I have 10+ years of post-masters experience and have conducted and directed 6+ years of in-country international research with universities, research centers, and NGOs in Mongolia, Bangladesh, and Thailand where I gained experience managing research programs, organizing international conferences and workshops; educating diverse audiences in nutritional epidemiology; and conducting high-level policy advocacy.
I am primarily affiliated as a Researcher in the Community Nutrition Unit at the Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University, and am a Member of Mahidol University’s Global Talent Program. I am also affiliated as a Research Associate in the Department of Nutrition and an NIH Fogarty Global Health Fellow in the Department of Global Health & Population at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
I received a BA in Chemistry from New York University, MPH in International Health / Epidemiology from the University of Michigan, Doctor of Science in Nutrition from Harvard University funded by an NIH National Research Service Award, and postdoctoral training at Harvard funded by NIH and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As a doctoral student, I trained over 200 students to assess diet across Mongolia and successfully advocated for expansion of the country’s food fortification law. As a postdoc, I directed a 2-year project that produced the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS).
