Jeanine Genkinger is a cancer epidemiologist with a focus on understanding modifiable factors and molecular pathways related to biomarkers that impact cancer risk and progression, particularly in rare and highly fatal cancers. Her research interests encompass prevention, identifying modifiable risk factors, improving early detection, and defining markers of risk. She has a methodological specialty in nutritional epidemiology, employing longitudinal designs and complex pooled meta-analytic techniques. Serving as the co-director of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center Database Shared Resource, Dr. Genkinger also recruits high-risk cancer patients and oversees the collection of blood, saliva, and epidemiologic questionnaires that link resected tumor tissue to clinical data. Her research has involved large scale international consortia, including the Pooling Project of Prospective Studies of Diet and Cancer and the NCI Cohort Consortium. Supported by the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, and the American Institute for Cancer Research, her work has explored epigenetic markers for early detection of ovarian cancer and the impact of dietary lifestyle patterns on pancreatic cancer risk.
