Alexandra White

Stadtman Investigator at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

Alexandra White, Ph.D., MSPH, leads the Environment and Cancer Epidemiology group. The overarching research goal for the group is to identify novel and modifiable environmental exposures that are related to women’s cancer risk and to explore underlying biologic mechanisms. Given the high incidence of breast cancer and the widespread prevalence of environmental exposures, our research has the potential to have a substantial public health impact. With the long-term goal of reducing the incidence of cancer in women, we aim to identify environmental carcinogens for which exposure can be mitigated either with policy changes or individual-level interventions.

No causal relationship, so those who used permanent dye in the past shouldn't worry over it
