Mollie Barnard is a molecular genetic epidemiologist whose research focuses on the etiology of breast and ovarian cancers, as well as the elimination of racial disparities in cancer outcomes. She leverages large, diverse epidemiologic cohorts linked with molecular data to identify modifiable risk factors and biological pathways that can be translated into prevention and survivorship strategies. Barnard is the Principal Investigator of an American Cancer Society Research Scholar Grant investigating the influences of cardiometabolic health on breast cancer risk, tumor biology, and immune profiles among Black women. Her work combines prospective cohort data with analyses of tumor gene expression and immune infiltration to uncover mechanisms driving aggressive disease, aiming to identify opportunities for targeted screening, prevention, and treatment. Prior research has examined the role of inflammation in ovarian carcinogenesis, revealing an inverse association between low-dose aspirin use and ovarian cancer risk. Barnard is committed to training the next generation of scientists, having mentored master's students, PhD students, and medical students in cancer epidemiology, study design, and data analysis.
