Professor of Dietary Public Health, University of Cambridge
Jean trained in medicine before completing a PhD on socio-economic inequalities in health. Jean’s research focuses on population-level influences on, and interventions to improve, dietary public health.
She conducts observational, evaluative and theoretical work exploring how social, fiscal and physical environments influence what people eat and how these can be changed to help people eat better.
Current and recent examples of research leadership include evaluations of the UK ‘soda tax’, ‘junk free’ supermarket checkouts, calorie menu labelling and food marketing restrictions. Jean has been academic director of Cambridge’s MPhil in Public Health since 2017.
