Overview of Research Program


Dr. Marty Slattery’s research focuses on diet, lifestyle, and genetic factors that influence susceptibility to cancer.  A focus of Dr. Slattery’s work has been on how these factors influence specific changes in tumors.  Much of her work has focused on colorectal cancer and breast cancer.  Dr. Slattery is interested in how inflammation contributes to cancer development and survival and how inflammation influences other risk factors such as hormone status and insulin-related factors.  Currently Dr. Slattery has four research projects that are examining these factors.
