Jennifer Richard är forskningsrådgivare vid GIO med inriktning på extern forskningsfinansiering och etikfrågor. Hon har en doktorsexamen i medicinsk vetenskap från Göteborgs universitet (2020), där hennes forskning fokuserade på de centrala system som reglerar hunger och mättnad och hur dessa kan bidra till övervikt. Som postdoktor vid University of British Columbia (UBC) och Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) i Kanada studerade hon hur kost och kroppsvikt påverkar hjärnhälsan och risken för att utveckla Alzheimers sjukdom. Hon har även ingått i etikkommittén vid CAMH. Hennes forskning har stöttats av både nationella och internationella forskningsbidrag, till exempel från Vetenskapsrådet och Cure for Alzheimer’s Fund.
