The development of new approaches of genetic analysis was leading to an explosion in the need for mathematical modeling and information technologies. The ability to work at a crossroads of biology and statistics allowed me to develop new approaches for understanding cancer etiology. New technologies and approaches to modeling are giving us great insights into the joint effects of environmental and genetic contributions to the causes of cancer. The ability to profile hundreds of thousands of cancer cases and controls has given us thousands of new insights and has allowed us to identify, through mediation and Mendelian randomization approaches, a great diversity of new candidates, influencing early stages of cancer development. These observations will lead to a much more precise knowledge of the key steps that influence the development of all common cancers.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Training in Precision Environmental Health Sciences (TPEHS)  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Associate Director Quantitative Science Baylor College of Medicine
