Fabienne Nackers a commencé sa carrière dans la recherche universitaire en se concentrant sur la maladie à mycobacterium ulcerans. Aujourd'hui, elle met ses compétences et ses connaissances scientifiques au service de l'action humanitaire au profit des populations vulnérables vivant dans des environnements difficiles et isolés. Ses intérêts de recherche couvrent une variété de questions liées à la santé, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, les maladies infectieuses, la santé mentale, la malnutrition et la vaccination. En tant qu'épidémiologiste généraliste, elle applique les principes épidémiologiques fondamentaux dans la planification, la conception, la conduite et la coordination d'études d'observation et d'intervention. Ses activités de recherche visent à contribuer à améliorer l'accès à des services de santé de qualité et à renforcer les capacités de recherche dans les pays aux ressources limitées.
