About Dr. Sauder:
Dr. Katherine Sauder is an associate professor of Pediatric Nutrition at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and deputy director of the Lifecourse Epidemiology of Adiposity and Diabetes (LEAD) Center. Her research examines how nutrition and lifestyle factors contribute to intergenerational chronic disease among women and children living in under-resourced urban and rural settings. She uses observational and intervention methods to develop and test health promotion strategies with potential for widespread implementation in clinic or community settings. She also integrates qualitative and community-based methods to ensure research participants and other partners are actively engaged in the research process.
Dr. Sauder is PI of four active clinical trials funded by the NIH and the American Diabetes Association to test lifestyle interventions to reduce obesity and diabetes risk factors in American Indian children, rural-dwelling children, pregnant women, and women hoping to become pregnant.
