My research focuses on how lifestyle/behavioral factors influence cancer risk and survival. I am particularly interested in examining the biological mechanisms that mediate the relationship between obesity, physical activity and women’s cancers (breast, ovarian and uterine). I am the principal investigator of a number of research studies at Yale University and collaborate on various national projects and initiatives focused on lifestyle factors and cancer survivorship. I also serve on various national advisory committees to develop consensus statements on physical activity, diet, weight and cancer prevention and control.
