Félice Lê-Scherban is the Principal Investigator for Children’s HealthWatch’s Philadelphia Data Collection Site at Drexel University School of Public Health. Her research centers on health disparities with a focus on children’s health disparities, life course determinants, and immigrant health. Her work has examined intergenerational socioeconomic influences on mental and physical health; neighborhood social contexts; and cardiovascular risk among immigrants.

Dr. Lê-Scherban collaborates on several projects to elucidate and act on social determinants of children’s health. She co-directs the Data & Research Core of the West Philly Promise Neighborhood, a US Department of Education-funded initiative to create a cradle-to-career continuum of support for children who live or attend school in designated neighborhoods in West Philadelphia, as well as their families and communities. Other work addresses drivers of disparities in childhood obesity over time using electronic health record data, and intergenerational effects of parent adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on their children’s health.

Dr. Lê-Scherban received a PhD in epidemiology from the University of Michigan and an MPH in epidemiology and biostatistics from the University of California, Berkeley.
