Dr. Lipsky is a behavioral nutrition epidemiologist with a focus on understanding the development and trajectories of eating behaviors and body weight in youth and families, and their impact on health outcomes. Her overarching aim is to incorporate experimental and observational research methods to develop interventions targeting long-term adoption of eating behaviors that support optimal health and development.

Dr. Lipsky's contributions to the field include publications on methodological advancements and the identification of familial, developmental, environmental, and psychosocial correlates of eating behaviors, weight change, and health indicators. Her current research examines the neurobehavioral influences on eating behaviors and weight outcomes across the lifespan.
