Anke Huels is an Assistant Professor at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, affiliated with the Department of Epidemiology and Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health. Her research focuses on the interplay between environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution), molecular factors (e.g., epigenetics), and health outcomes like cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. She leads NIH-funded projects investigating air pollution's role in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, leveraging multi-omics approaches and cross-tissue analyses.
Key research interests include environmental health, epidemiology, epigenetics, and aging. Her work bridges biostatistics and molecular epidemiology, with a focus on understanding how social and environmental determinants influence health across lifespans.
Notable grants include NIH/NIA awards totaling $15M for studies on air pollution's neurotoxic effects and molecular mechanisms. Her research emphasizes translational outcomes, aiming to inform environmental policies and health interventions.
Publications highlight associations between air pollution and skin aging, cognitive impairment, and neurodegenerative biomarkers. Collaborations span global cohorts, including studies in Germany, China, and South Africa.
