Research Interests

I am interested in how lifestyle and environmental risk factors, genetics, and molecular features vary across breast cancer subtypes and for women of different ethnicities. I am also interested in how this knowledge can be used to improve breast cancer risk stratification, to ultimately inform strategies for personalized breast cancer prevention.
