Coordinating Centers in Cancer Epidemiology Research January 6, 2012

Filed under: Coordinating Centers — Betsy Rolland @ 5:01 pm

A couple of very belated announcements here… I’m pleased to share with you all my (somewhat) recently published article from Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention:

Coordinating Centers in Cancer-Epidemiology Research: The Asia Cohort Consortium Coordinating Center
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. Published OnlineFirst July 29, 2011.
Rolland B, Smith BR, Potter JD.

It was very exciting to see my first first-author paper in print! The article was officially published in the October issue of CEBP.

In related news, I was honored to receive my first grant from NCI, with my co-PI (and PhD advisor) Charlotte Lee. The grant will allow us to continue our research on coordinating centers here at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. FHCRC is home to some of the most successful multi-institutional cancer epidemiology collaborations, some of which have been ongoing for more than a decade, like the Women’s Health Initiative. I hope to help codify the lessons they’ve learned to help other coordinating centers work more effectively. Once I finish my PhD, I plan to expand this research to other cancer centers around the country to identify common strategies for success.
