Overview

Susanne Moebus is affiliated with the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine, with a particular focus on health and environmental influences. Their research spans a range of subfields including health, toxicology and mutagenesis, speech and hearing, cognitive neuroscience, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, and genetics.

Moebus's work covers key topics such as noise effects and management, hearing loss and rehabilitation, air quality and health impacts, urban green space and health, genetic associations and epidemiology, as well as climate change and health impacts.

Among recent publications, several notable papers include:

  • Framework and baseline examination of the German National Cohort (NAKO), 2022, European Journal of Epidemiology
  • Genetic Associations Between Modifiable Risk Factors and Alzheimer Disease, 2023, JAMA Network Open
  • When your brain looks older than expected: combined lifestyle risk and BrainAGE, 2021, Brain Structure and Function
  • Association of Rare APOE Missense Variants V236E and R251G With Risk of Alzheimer Disease, 2022, JAMA Neurology
  • Associations of Air Pollution and Noise with Local Brain Structure in a Cohort of Older Adults, 2020, Environmental Health Perspectives

Frequent collaborators include:

  • Karl-Heinz Jöckel
  • Timo Haselhoff
  • Svenja Caspers
  • Sara Schramm
  • Bryce T. Lawrence

Moebus often publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Das Gesundheitswesen, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, UNC Libraries, and Environmental Health Perspectives.

Their research contributions emphasize the interaction between environmental factors and human health, particularly the effects of noise and air quality on brain structure and cognitive aging, as well as genetic factors related to diseases like Alzheimer's. The combination of epidemiology, environmental health, and genetics marks a multidisciplinary approach in their body of work.
