Professor Sophie Moore is a Professor of Global Women & Children's Health at King's College London, based in the Department of Women & Children's Health. She holds a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship (2020-25) and leads research on global maternal and child nutrition, with a focus on micronutrient interventions during critical developmental periods. Her work spans epidemiological studies in rural Gambia, intervention research on infant neurodevelopment, and global health challenges related to food insecurity.
She is affiliated with the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine and the School of Life Course & Population Sciences. Her research integrates nutritional epidemiology, epigenetics, and global health equity, with projects such as the BRIGHT (Brain Imaging for Global Health) cohort study and the PRECISE network investigating pre-eclampsia determinants. She has collaborated widely across institutions including the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Medical Research Council Unit in The Gambia, and international partners in Africa and Asia.
Key contributions include studies on iron supplementation in infancy, maternal dietary diversity, and the role of calcium in pre-eclampsia prevention. Her work emphasizes translational research to bridge gaps between scientific evidence and public health policy, particularly in low-resource settings. Grants and awards include major funding from Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Professor Moore’s research also explores neurodevelopmental outcomes linked to nutritional status, leveraging advanced imaging techniques (fNIRS/EEG) and longitudinal cohort data. She actively engages in global health initiatives addressing food security, maternal-child health disparities, and the impact of environmental factors on early development.
