Iris M. Heid - Epidemiology

Author Information

Iris M. Heid is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Department of Genetic Epidemiology at the University of Regensburg in Regensburg, Germany. Her extensive work in genetic epidemiology has significantly contributed to the understanding of various health conditions and genetic factors.

Research Contributions

Iris M. Heid has made substantial contributions to the field of epidemiology, with a particular focus on genetic epidemiology. In recent years, she has published numerous studies covering a range of topics, including the genetic variants associated with human height, age-related macular degeneration, the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines, and changes in healthcare-seeking behavior during the COVID-19 lockdown. Her work also extends to studies on physical activity's impact on age-related macular degeneration, genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids, and the prioritization of variants and genes for kidney function. Her research has been pivotal in advancing the understanding of these complex health issues.

Aliases

Iris M. Heid is also known by several aliases, including I M Heid, I. Heid, I. M. Heid, Iris Heid, and I. Heid.
