Dr. Aris is an epidemiologist and a faculty member in the Department of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on the paradigm of the developmental origins of health and disease, which postulates that potential drivers of adult chronic disease including obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease have their origins at key stages during the lifecourse. His work in Project Viva focuses on characterizing distinct growth trajectory patterns and milestones in children, and establishing its relationships with early life risk factors as well as later health outcomes. Dr. Aris received his doctoral degree in Epidemiology from the National University of Singapore in 2015. Prior to joining DPM, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences (from 2015 to 2017) and in the Department of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School (from 2017 to 2019).
