Dr. Aline Rocha joins the DataHealth Lab

🎉 We are delighted to welcome Dr. Aline Rocha to the DataHealth Lab!

Aline joins our group as a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher, bringing valuable expertise in Epidemiology, Nutrition, and Environment. She is funded by an International Mobility Grant from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), a Brazilian funding agency.

Aline is currently leading a research project on the effects of Drought on Maternal and Child Health, based in CIDACS-Fiocruz, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in collaboration with the Brazilian Ministry of Health (Decit) and CNPq. Her experience will contribute directly to our ongoing projects on Climate Change and Health, particularly those focused on drought and child growth using a cohort with more than 12 million children and 50 million measurements from Brazil.

Her arrival marks an important step in expanding the scientific capacity of the DataHealth Lab and reinforcing our commitment to collaborative, policy-relevant, and methodologically rigorous research.

Welcome, Aline! We are very happy to have you with us! 👏
