Nancy Fleischer is the John G. Searle Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Fleischer is a social epidemiologist who investigates how the broader policy and socioeconomic environments impact health disparities and the health of vulnerable populations, in the US and around the world. Her research focuses on global non-communicable disease risk, and the growing burden of smoking and obesity. Dr. Fleischer is particularly interested in how epidemiologic analyses can better inform policy and health interventions through the use of natural experiments and the development of systems science in population health and health disparities research.
