DCEG Organization

DCEG is organized into branches and laboratories under the Trans-Divisional Research Program (TDRP). DCEG scientists work closely with the Leidos Cancer Genomics Research (CGR) Laboratory and is supported by the Administrative Resources Center.

Dr. Chanock's research is housed in the Laboratory of Genetic Susceptibility.

  • Glowing, light blue statistical trendlines and vertical bars as seen on charts and graphs are placed in front of a dark blue and burred background

    Biostatistics Branch

    Investigators in the Biostatistics Branch develop quantitative methods and tools for cancer research. Meet the branch PIs and fellows, see recent publications, and learn about the branch's priorities.

  • Three-dimensional and simplified female, male, and juvenile human figures connected by lines and spheres on a blue background

    Clinical Genetics Branch

    Investigators in the Clinical Genetics Branch study individuals and populations at high genetic risk of cancer in order to improve our understanding of cancer etiology and to advance clinical care.

  • Single, large, smooth, purple cell structure with yellow, clustered viruses attached

    Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch

    Investigators in the Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch study infectious agents with established or postulated associations with cancer and immune variation relevant for cancer risk.

  • Abstract radiologic, microscopic image of computational pathology

    Integrative Tumor Epidemiology Branch

    Investigators in ITEB investigate cancer etiology and progression through large-scale, integrative analyses of risk factors and tissue profiling to inform prevention and clinical strategies.

  • 3D, blue and pink rendering of a double helix DNA strand with on a bright background

    Laboratory of Translational Genomics

    Investigators in the Laboratory of Translational Genomics study germline and somatic genetics of cancer and conduct analyses on regions of the genome conclusively identified through genome-wide association and family-based studies.

  • Clear spheres in the foreground appear in front of a brightly lit and blurry background; depicting metabolism and metabolomics

    Metabolic Epidemiology Branch

    Investigators in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch conduct interdisciplinary research to understand the role of metabolic and lifestyle factors in causing and preventing cancer.

  • Abstract and blurred stagnant, dirty water

    Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch

    Investigators in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch conduct studies in the United States and abroad to identify and evaluate environmental and workplace exposures that may be associated with cancer risk.

  • Red and orange blurry background with an abstract representation of electromagnetic flowing

    Radiation Epidemiology Branch

    Investigators in the Radiation Epidemiology Branch conduct epidemiological, genetic, and radiation dosimetry research to quantify risk, identify susceptible populations, and carry out advanced exposure assessments.
