Research Interests
Dr. Bodelon conducts integrative analyses of genomic and molecular data to characterize breast cancers. She supports several ongoing projects aimed at informing mechanisms that may underlie relationships of key breast cancer risk factors (e.g., mammographic breast density and terminal duct lobular unit [TDLU] involution) to breast cancer risk and progression. She also supports collaborative initiatives to investigate early molecular changes in the normal breast.
