Research Topics: Cancer survivorship; tobacco cessation; health communications

Research Topics: Molecular epidemiology; cancer treatment outcomes; risk factors associated with the development of breast cancer.

Research Topics/Projects: Cancer epidemiology, using epidemiologic tools to understand carcinogenesis at the population, individual, tissue and molecular levels to better prevent and control the disease risk and progression. Much of my work includes a focus on nutrition and alcohol. Recent projects include examination of factors associated with mortality after a breast cancer diagnosis, breast cancer epidemiology in Puerto Rico, and examination of reduction of alcohol consumption in relation to cancer risk and mortality. In addition, I am working on a project regarding caregiving and caretaking among those with disability.

Research Topics: Evaluation of tobacco policies; cancer and tobacco surveillance; biostatistical support.

Research Topics: Assessing air pollution exposure and associated health outcomes, and the underlying biological mechanisms; examining lifestyle factors, gene-environment interaction and cancer etiology, survival and prevention; as well as using a life-course approach to understand the role of various environmental and social exposure on child development and human health.

Research Topics: Role of inflammation in ovarian cancer; radiation exposure and subsequent reproductive health indicators; environmental risk factors for breast cancer.

Research Topics: Genetic epidemiology of complex traits; cancer health disparities; obesity and cancer risk; hormones and aging, women’s health.
