Janine Felix

Senior Researcher & Study Coordinator

Janine's research aims to understand the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the well-known associations of early-life exposures and later health. As Principal Investigator (PI) for Epigenetics in the Generation R Study, Janine uses epigenome-wide and genome-wide data from Generation R, working mostly within large-scale international consortia, such as the PACE (Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetics) Consortium, with over 30,000 participants, in which she is the senior lead investigator on multiple projects. She is also the PI of the 6-partner international NutriPROGRAM Consortium, which studies early-life nutrition, DNA methylation and childhood cardiometabolic outcomes. Next to these, Janine is the work package lead for several Horizon2020-funded projects (DynaHEALTH, LifeCycle, LONGITOOLS) and the study coordinator of the Generation R Study.
