About
Dr. Jane Thanner is a leading researcher in precision public health, with a focus on population-based genomic screening for hereditary disease risk. Her work bridges clinical genetics and community health, aiming to identify individuals at risk for inherited cancers and familial hypercholesterolemia before symptoms arise. In her landmark 2023 study, "Population screening shows risk of inherited cancer and familial hypercholesterolemia in Oregon," Dr. Thanner demonstrated the feasibility and impact of large-scale genomic screening in a diverse U.S. population, revealing that a significant proportion of participants carried actionable genetic variants that would otherwise go undetected. This work has garnered over 13 citations and is shaping state-level public health policy discussions. Dr. Thanner’s contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on equity and access, ensuring that screening programs reach underserved communities. Her research is paving the way for a future where genomic medicine is integrated into routine preventive care, offering the promise of early intervention and reduced disease burden.
