  • C

    • Caporaso, Neil, E., M.D.
      Molecular epidemiology of lung and tobacco-related cancers. Family studies of lympho-proliferative cancers, i.e., chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Pharmacogenetics of genotype-phenotype relationships.
    • G

      • Goldin, Lynn, R., Ph.D.
        Analytic methods for detecting susceptibility genes for complex diseases by linkage and association methods. Genetic epidemiology of lymphoproliferative cancers.
      • Goldstein, Alisa, M., Ph.D.
        Genetic epidemiology of cancer, integrating epidemiologic, clinical, and molecular approaches. Developing and evaluating methods to examine gene-environment interactions in complex diseases.
      • Greene, Mark, H., M.D.
        Hereditary cancer syndromes, translational clinical research targeting genetically at-risk populations, and genetic modifiers of risk related to outcomes of cancer therapy.
      • L

        • Landi, Maria, T., M.D., Ph.D.
          Association and linkage approaches in genetic epidemiology of cutaneous malignant melanoma, genetic factors of lung cancer and smoking, health consequences of dioxin exposure.
