Chris Tait

Christopher Tait completed his PhD in Epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in 2018. For his doctoral thesis, Chris applied cutting edge methods to a unique population-based data source that  informs how dietary patterns in the population relate to the development of chronic disease and premature death. His work on the largest population-based databases of food exposures linked with health outcomes in Canada provides the opportunity to have significant impact and inform chronic disease prevention efforts in Canada. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, Health & Society from Cornell University and a Masters of Public Health in Epidemiology from Columbia University.
