Expertise

Dr. He’s research interests are cancer epidemiology, as well as, molecular and genetic epidemiology. She is particularly interested in genetic susceptibility of breast cancer and skin cancer. These research interests include identifying common genetic variants associated with cancer risk through both genome-wide association study (GWAS) and candidate gene approach, and understanding how these genetic variants interact with environmental and lifestyle factors in cancer etiology and prevention. Her current research focuses on linking GWAS data to gene-expression profiling data for a better understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms.
