Anke received her BSc in Statistics and MSc in Biostatistics from TU Dortmund University, Germany. In 2012 she started her training in Environmental Epidemiology at the IUF - Leibniz-Research Institute for Environmental Medicine, Düsseldorf, Germany, where she did research on the health effects of air pollution. Shortly after, she got more and more interested in the interactions between environmental and genetic risk factors. 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. In August 2018 she joined Dr. Michael Epstein’s lab at Emory University, where she is going 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 her free time, Anke enjoys traveling and hiking.
