Biography

Stefan Kuhle is an epidemiologist and former pediatrician with a research interest in perinatal health, child development, and chronic disease in childhood. He has a Master’s and a PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Alberta, Canada. Stefan Kuhle previously held a position as Associate Professor in the Perinatal Epidemiology Research Unit at Dalhousie University, Canada.

Dr. Kuhle’s research examines the influence of perinatal and early life factors on long-term child health. He uses large databases and causal inference methods to answer etiologic as well as policy-relevant questions. Dr. Kuhle is the Co-PI (with Dr. Christy Woolcott) of the 3G Multigenerational Cohort Study, a population-based cohort of women and their mothers and offspring in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia that aims to investigate inter- and transgenerational associations across the maternal line.
