Initiatives

To investigate the role of hormones, diet, and other factors in the development of the most common cancers in women, especially breast cancer, as well as other chronic conditions. In our current research, we are investigating the relationship between anti-Müllerian hormone and breast cancer risk, how neighborhood walkability affects women’s health, and the use of cutting-edge techniques to measure proteins and metabolism-related markers to refine our understanding of cancer risk factors.
