Lisa Lamkemeyer is a paramedic, dentist, Master of Global Health and fourth-year medical student. She is a research associate, working at the Section for Oral Health and in the working group of ‘Climate-Smart Health Systems’, both at Heidelberg Institute of Global Health.

There is no health, without oral health!

She is passionate about understanding and communicating the complex connections between environmental change, health and society. While the transgression of planetary boundaries affects people worldwide, its consequences are profoundly unequally distributed. This makes planetary health and climate resilience a question of equity, health and justice. Her diverse clinical and academic background allows her to connect individual health with the larger systems that shape it and translate evidence into accessible knowledge.

Her work spans teaching, educational projects, research and knowledge transfer all at the intersection of planetary health, climate change, and human (oral) health.
