Annette Peters

Annette Peters is an epidemiologist at the Helmholtz Zentrum München, focusing on the effects of environmental factors on health. She has contributed significantly to the understanding of how genetic variations can impact individuals' responses to heat, particularly in relation to the production of heat shock proteins, which help protect cells from heat-induced damage. Her research aims to uncover the physiological differences among people when it comes to heat tolerance and the mechanisms behind these adaptations.
