We investigate the genetic and molecular epidemiology of solid tumors, using cutting-edge genomic approaches to uncover the inherited factors that drive cancer susceptibility
Key research questions
Which germline variants contribute to cancer development?
How can population data improve cancer risk prediction?
How do sex differences impact cancer genetic risk?
