Anna Caecilia Josephina Wilhelmina Janssens (born June 15, 1968)[1]:189 is a Dutch epidemiologist and research professor of translational epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.[2] Much of her research focuses on polygenic score-based genetic risk prediction for complex diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, of which she has been critical.[3][4][5] She has also criticized what she considers an excessive focus on the role of genetics in attempts to prevent and treat human diseases.[6]
