Dr. Leslie Redmond serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences within the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba. Her research focuses on developing culturally grounded nutrition interventions for minoritized populations, with particular emphasis on Indigenous communities across Canada and Native American reservations in the United States. Her academic credentials include a PhD in Nutrition from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, an MSc in Exercise Physiology from James Madison University, and a BSc in Food Science from Clemson University. These diverse foundations inform her interdisciplinary approach to public health nutrition. Dr. Redmond's research program centers on three interconnected pillars: (1) theory-based, culturally appropriate nutrition interventions co-developed with communities; (2) prevention strategies for diet-related chronic diseases in marginalized populations; and (3) sustainable solutions to food insecurity among college students. Her work frequently addresses Indigenous food sovereignty, gestational diabetes in urban Indigenous women, and obesity prevention through community-centered frameworks. Analysis of her recent publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on Indigenous health contexts across North America, with significant contributions to understanding traditional food systems, community-based obesity interventions (notably the OPREVENT2 trial), and circumpolar food security challenges. Her methodological approach emphasizes community-based participatory research and culturally safe practices. Dr. Redmond actively supervises graduate students through the university's formal inquiry process and has led multi-institutional projects including the OPREVENT2 obesity prevention trial across six Native American communities. Her research demonstrates strong community partnerships with Indigenous organizations in Manitoba, Alaska, and reservation communities throughout the United States, translating evidence into practical health solutions for vulnerable populations.
