clinical and population-based studies, including three large
cohort studies in the U.S. and abroad with survey data and
biological samples from approximately 225,000 study
participants. Areas of ongoing research include diet and
nutrition, health behaviors, envi-ronmental exposures,
reproductive epidemiology, genetic and other biomarkers for
disease risk and progression, and racial disparities in health
outcomes. The Center is particularly interested in expanding
its research and training pro-grams in epidemiology of cancer
and other chronic diseases.
Successful candidates
