Research Abstract

My research focus is diet in relation to risk of chronic diseases, especially cancer. I have conducted prospective follow-up studies of diet and breast cancer in the Nurses' Health Study II and diet and lung cancer and colorectal cancer in the Pooling Project of Diet and Cancer. I have worked on risk factors of melanoma in several large prospective studies also.
