Dr Laura Basterfield PhD, BSc - Research Fellow

I am responsible for measuring and analysing the physical activity of children in the study. I am interested in exercise and physical activity in general, and particularly to prevent childhood obesity. My previous work looked at the effect of exercise on intestinal cancer.

I am involved in the collection of data from the cohort by visiting them at their schools and colleges and at drop in sessions.  My background is in Human Nutrition and I have research interests in dietary intake across the life course, public health and child growth including obesity and its prevention.
