About

Dr. Karlijn Meeks is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, specializing in the fields of chronic disease epidemiology and metabolic health. Her recent research focuses on the interplay between gut microbiota, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes risk among African migrant populations. She leads studies that utilize genetic and environmental factors to understand cardiometabolic risks, as exemplified by her work with the RODAM cohort. Based in the United States, Dr. Meeks aims to bridge the gap in health disparities through her comprehensive investigations.
