Why Women’s Health?
I am a cancer epidemiologist focusing primarily on cancer risk and outcomes in Black women, who suffer a disproportionate burden of cancer in the U.S. I am currently Multiple Principal Investigator of the Black Women’s Health Study (BWHS), a prospective cohort study of over 59,000 Black women begun in 1995. Within the BWHS and other large, well-established cohorts, I have led high-impact epidemiologic research projects to study risk factors for breast and other cancers.
