High-quality laboratory, epidemiological and clinical research within the division is driven by energetic, innovative leadership and complemented by participation in national and international research consortiums, clinical collaborations, and technological partnerships. At the Integrative Cancer Epidemiology Team we use integrative analyses of large-scale data in epidemiological studies to investigate the causes of cancer, understand carcinogenic processes and improve risk assessment for precision prevention. At the Clinical Epidemiology Team we use real world data to investigate the late-effects of cancer treatments, cancer survival and cancer risks from other medications. Our work informs prevention and public health strategies at both the population and individual levels to reduce the burden of cancer. We have a program of research based on the ongoing Generations Study, a national study of over 110,000 women from the UK. Women in the study have provided blood samples and detailed questionnaire information at recruitment, and in repeat follow-up questionnaires. Data includes self- reported risk factor information, hormone levels, genetics, and artificial intelligence (AI) analyses of tissue images from breast tumours, benign breast disease and mammography images. We also access their medical records to collect information on cancer screening and treatments. The scientific staff comprise epidemiologists, statisticians and data scientist who collaborate with researchers around the world. We are part of the newly formed Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Research Unit, a research partnership between The ICR and Imperial College London to establish collaborations in research, training and knowledge dissemination in cancer epidemiology and prevention.
