Anna Caecilia Josephina Wilhelmina Janssens (15 June 1968 – 8 September 2022)[1][2]:189 was a Dutch epidemiologist and research professor of translational epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.[3] Much of her research focused on polygenic score-based genetic risk prediction for complex diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, of which she was critical.[4][5][6] She also criticized what she considered an excessive focus on the role of genetics in attempts to prevent and treat human diseases.[7]

On 17 June 2022, it was announced that Janssens was nominated by the Cabinet of the Netherlands to become Member of the Scientific Council for Government Policy.[8]
