Als afdelingshoofd zet ik mij in voor de ontwikkeling  en positionering van de  huisartsgeneeskunde.  In een tijdperk waarin niet alles in de zorg meer mogelijk is omdat de maatschappij het eenvoudig niet meer kan of wil betalen, wordt verstandig kiezen steeds belangrijker.  De huisarts, opgeleid als generalist met doelmatig handelen als handelskenmerk en potentieel vertrouwenspersoon van de patiënt,  is bij uitstek geschikt om hier een voortrekkersrol te spelen. Ik streef ernaar om samen met huisartsen in het noorden van Nederland een academisch netwerk op te zetten waarin deze visie wordt uitgedragen in de dagelijkse praktijk, de opleiding en bij het ontwikkelen van zorginnovaties. 
Mijn expertise als wetenschapper ligt bij behandeling van (gastro-intestinale) klachten van kinderen van 0 tot 18 jaar in de eerste lijn.

Nynke Smidt studied physiotherapy (cum laude) and Human Movement Sciences, specializing in Epidemiology. She is associated professor in Epidemiology, and leader of the unit Health Behaviour Epidemiology of the department of epidemiology and the research program Life Course Epidemiology of the research Institute SHARE. She is board member of the department of Epidemiology, SHARE research institute and the Dutch Society of Epidemiology. She is affiliated researcher at Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) in The Hague. She is principal investigator of the FINGER-NL study (location site UMCG) investigating the effectiveness of a multidomain lifestyle intervention on the cognitive performance of older adults, and she is currently setting up Ageinglines, a new subcohort within Lifelines aiming to investigate pathways of biological ageing among 4500 participants (data collection starts in January 2024). She is part of various regional and national consortia: Leernetwerk Leefomgeving Groningen (LEGrO), MOCIA (Maintaining Optimal Cognitive function In Ageing), FINGER-NL (https://mocia.nl/onderzoeken/finger-nl/), Netherlands Dementia Prevention Initiative (NDPI) and BIRD-NL (Beinvloedbare Risicofactoren voor Preventie van Dementie – Nederlands Consortium voor kennisontwikkeling). Her main research focus on lifestyle determinants of healthy (cognitive) ageing trajectories. These lifestyle factors include physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, alcohol consumption, social and cognitive activities. Data of population-based cohort studies are used to investigate the (biological) pathways of cognitive decline over the life course. The main aim is to provide knowledge how to add more healthy life years to the general population, especially to those with a lower education and overweight. She is co-author of over 115 peer reviewed international publications (H-index -Web of Science: 32 dd. May 2023) For publication: Smidt N[Author] - Search Results - PubMed (nih.gov)
