Anke Hüls

Assistant Professor

Anke's research bridges the development of epidemiological methods and their direct application to environmental and genetic epidemiology. She started her training in Environmental Epidemiology at the IUF - Leibniz-Research Institute for Environmental Medicine, Düsseldorf, Germany, where her research focused on the health effects of air pollution. In 2018 Anke received her PhD in Biostatistics from TU Dortmund University and completed a short-term postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Michael Kobor at the University of British Columbia, where she gained insights into the field of epigenetics. From August 2018 to December 2019 Anke continued her research as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Michael Epstein’s lab at Emory University, where she went deeper into the methodological challenges of DNA methylation analyses by working on kernel-based statistical approaches for associations with multi-dimensional phenotypes as well as risk score approaches. In January 2020 Anke joined the Departments of Epidemiology and Environmental Health (Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University) as Assistant Professor.
