Nikolaus Mezger

I am a medical doctor and graduate in public health epidemiology, currently working as a research fellow in environmental epidemiology at KI. My research focusses on societal and health care resilience facing the climate and environmental crises. I hold a PhD in public health from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany), for which I examined clinical cancer epidemiology through field research in Sub-Saharan Africa (Namibia, Republic of Congo). Since 2020, I have also been working with the German Alliance on Climate Change and Health (KLUG), with a focus on research and policy in societal and health care resilience facing extreme weather events. I teach at multiple universities in Sweden and Germany.
