Rebecca Kehm, PhD, is a cancer social epidemiologist at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. She received her Master of Public Health and PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Minnesota and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University. Dr. Kehm's current research focuses on identifying modifiable early-life factors associated with cancer risk, particularly early onset breast cancer. Her work encompasses a range of cancer risk factors, including social stressors, physical activity, and air pollution. Dr. Kehm utilizes family-based cohorts to explore how external factors interact with genetic susceptibility and employs biomarkers from breast tissue and blood to study risk throughout the life course. She specializes in time series analyses to investigate cancer trends using large-scale databases and is dedicated to translating epidemiological findings into novel interventions for communities disproportionately burdened by cancer.
