About
Tiana Week is a public health researcher whose work bridges genomics and community-based screening to prevent inherited disease. Her key research areas include population genomics, hereditary cancer syndromes, and familial hypercholesterolemia—a condition that dramatically raises cardiovascular risk. Week’s most notable contribution is her 2023 study, "Population screening shows risk of inherited cancer and familial hypercholesterolemia in Oregon," which has already garnered 13 citations. This work demonstrated the feasibility and impact of large-scale genetic screening in a real-world population, identifying individuals at high risk for both cancer and heart disease who might otherwise have been missed by traditional family-history-based approaches. By showing that such screening can be integrated into routine public health systems, Week has provided a scalable model for early intervention. Her research is particularly significant for its focus on underserved populations, ensuring that genomic medicine benefits all communities. With over a decade of experience in translational genomics, Tiana Week continues to shape how we think about preventive health—proving that a single blood test can reveal hidden risks and save lives.
