Breakfast Seminar: Emma Allott, Department of Nutrition, UNC

October 31, 2017 @ 7:45 am - 9:00 am

Dr. Allott is Research Assistant Professor of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She received her Ph.D. in molecular cancer biology from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. She trained in population-based methods and study design as a Cancer Prevention, Detection and Control Fellow at Duke University, and as a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Her research integrates epidemiologic methods and design, molecular tumor profiling and experimental model systems to study the role of obesity, diet, and lifestyle factors in breast and prostate cancer pathogenesis. Dr. Allott’s work in breast cancer uses gene expression profiling and immunohistochemistry-based biomarker analyses for molecular classification of tumor subtypes and to explore inter-tumor and intra-tumor biomarker heterogeneity in large epidemiologic studies. In prostate cancer, her work is focused on the role of high serum cholesterol levels and dysregulated tumor lipid metabolism in prostate cancer aggressiveness and progression.

The Cancer Outcomes Research Program Breakfast Seminar Series is organized by Drs. Ethan Basch, Stephanie Wheeler, and Matthew Nielsen. Please arrive at 7:45am to join us for a hot breakfast buffet prior to the start of our 8:00am meeting. Parking is available at the Rams Head parking deck next door; we will give you vouchers to park for free.
