My research training and experience is in breast cancer epidemiology, with a strong focus on determinants of mammographic density. To date, I have published on how body composition, physical activity, and inflammatory factors affect mammographic density. Additionally, I have an ongoing pilot study examining the impact of weight loss on change in mammographic density. Recently I have expanded my research focus to study the health of breast cancer survivors as well as determinants and effects of vasomotor symptoms in healthy women.
