Joreintje Mackenbach is a registered epidemiologist and associate professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Data Science at Amsterdam UMC location Vrije Universiteit and the Amsterdam Public Health research institute.
Joreintje has a background in Health Sciences (Policy & Management and Public Health) and obtained her PhD in 2016 (cum laude) with a thesis on 'obesogenic environments'. Her research is dedicated to the upstream determinants of lifestyle behaviours and chronic disease risk, with a specific focus on food environments.
Supported by several personal (Veni (2017) and Vidi (2023)) and consortium-based grants (Supreme Nudge (2017), Netwerk Gezond Leven in een Gezonde Omgeving (2022)), and through her involvement in several large research projects (e.g., the H2020 Expanse and OBCT project, the NWO Gravitation project Exposome-NL) Joreintje works on identifying how the food environment affects food choices and health, what food environment interventions work and why, and how broader systemic influences such as commercial and political factors shape current food environments.
Next to her research activities, Joreintje is also university lecturer and co-chair of the research program Health Behaviors & Chronic Diseases within the Amsterdam Public Health research institute.
