    Background

    The Social Epidemiology and Metabolic Outcomes Research (SEMOR) program is an academic group focused on social, nutritional and obesity epidemiology. Our objective is to support healthy ageing and to address women’s heart health inequities in Canada. We examine how social determinants impact cardiometabolic risk and outcomes differentially in women and men.

    We are hosted within Collaboration for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE), Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, UBC. Our work is continuously supported through grants from CIHR, SSHRC, and other agencies.
