Natalie Almeras serves as an Associate Professor at Laval University within the Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Research Center of the University Institute of Heart and Pneumonia of Quebec (CRIUCPQ)—a FRQS-recognized institution. Based at the Physical Education and Sports Pavilion (2300, rue de la Terrasse, Room 00241), her work bridges clinical research and community health interventions.
Her research centers on youth obesity prevention through integrated university-community partnerships, emphasizing accessible services and academic training. The FRQS-funded project "Agir ensemble" (2025–2027) exemplifies her focus on scalable interventions combining kinesiology, psychopedagogy, and public health strategies to address physical activity deficits in young populations.

She actively supervises Elisabeth Daigle (Master's in Kinesiology) and Dominic Chartrand (PhD in Kinesiology), while completing five graduate supervisions since 2020—including Manon Bordeleau's PhD in Psychopedagogy and two degrees for Dominic Chartrand. Her current FRQS grant supports longitudinal work on youth obesity frameworks through Laval University's Thematic Research Networks.
Dr. Almeras operates within CRIUCPQ's multidisciplinary ecosystem, collaborating on cardiovascular-pulmonary health initiatives with specialized attention to pediatric metabolic disorders and community-based physical activity programs.
