Genetic and environmental factors in cancer

在Sister研究中，我正在与NIEHS的其他研究人员合作进行乳腺癌研究。我目前正在参与分析，以检查从全基因组关联研究中出现的SNPs，并检查乳腺癌的表观遗传因素。我还对影响生存的因素的研究感兴趣，并为开发一种工具来跟踪患乳腺癌的受试者做出了贡献。除了主要的姐妹研究外，我也是克拉丽斯·温伯格博士领导的一个名为两姐妹研究的辅助项目的合作者，该项目旨在增加队列参与者患有早发性乳腺癌的姐妹的样本和暴露数据收集。温伯格博士从科曼基金会获得了该项目的外部资金。

I am collaborating with other NIEHS investigators on breast cancer research in the Sister Study. I am currently involved in analyses to examine SNPs that have emerged from whole genome association studies and to examine epigenetic factors in breast cancer. I am also interested in the study of factors influencing survival and contributed to the development of an instrument to follow-up subjects who develop breast cancer. In addition to the main Sister Study, I am a collaborator on an ancillary project called the Two Sister Study lead by Dr. Clarice Weinberg to add sample and exposure data collection on sisters with early onset breast cancer of participants in the cohort. Dr. Weinberg received external funding for this project from the Komen Foundation.
