Teresa Janevic, PhD, MPH, is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. As a perinatal epidemiologist, Dr. Janevic’s work centers on understanding the social and structural determinants that shape health outcomes and the quality of health care. Her research explores the complex interplay of factors such as policy, neighborhood environments, racial discrimination, immigration, and psychosocial stress, and how these exposures impact maternal health during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and throughout the life course. A significant portion of Dr. Janevic’s research focuses on gestational diabetes, investigating the social and systemic factors that influence its development as well as disparities in diagnosis and management. She is particularly interested in advancing strategies to improve the long-term health of individuals affected by gestational diabetes, with the goal of reducing the risk of future complications and promoting sustained wellness after pregnancy.
