About the Department
Program/Unit Description
The Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Research has nearly a 30
year history of conducting epidemiologic research into the causes
of childhood cancer, outcomes during treatment, and late-effects
among survivors. Currently five faculty work in this area, along
with numerous graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Data to
be managed and analyzed include cancer surveillance (i.e. SEER),
many case-control studies conducted through the Children's Oncology
Group, large record-linkage studies, and pooled case-control data
through the Childhood Leukemia International Consortium, among
others. The Division also holds many genomic datasets which require
