Saxon Graham

L. Saxon Graham, PhD, a longtime SPHHP professor and chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health from 1981-1991, was considered among the most important cancer epidemiologists for his groundbreaking studies examining the link between diet and cancer beginning in the 1950s.

    There is a great deal of evidence now that diet affects cancer risk. That connection wasn’t obvious, though, in the 1950s, when Buffalo-born researcher L. Saxon Graham began breaking new ground in cancer epidemiology. Over the next half-century, Graham contributed some of the most important research on diet and cancer.
