DCEG Videos

DCEG brings together teams of researchers with complementary expertise to carry out innovative, interdisciplinary research and train the next generation of cancer epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and geneticists.

Join DCEG in a training program for postdoctoral, predoctoral, and postbaccalaureate fellows.

Francine Baker, predoctoral fellow, and Ludmilla Prokunina-Olsson, LTG Director, tour the Laboratory of Translational Genomics (LTG), part of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics.

DCEG researchers investigate the causes of cancer at the population level. Together with their trainees, our experts pair genetic and genomic studies of common and rare malignancies with classical epidemiological approaches. Watch our scientists discuss genome-wide association studies, HPV genomics, Li-Fraumeni Syndrome natural history studies.

Aimée Kreimer, Ph.D., a senior investigator in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, discusses her research on human papillomavirus and cancer.

Dr. Sholom Wacholder, a biostatistician in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, discusses his role on a human papillomavirus vaccine clinical trial. From the archives of the NCI Cancer Bulletin - 2010.

DCEG fosters a supportive and engaging learning environment for fellows and summer interns to build the skills they need to go on to successful careers and to grow as individuals. Fellows have access to rich and expansive data resources, new technologies, and tools to conduct cutting-edge science. It’s impossible not to find something of interest. As they embark on new avenues of discovery, they can share in their enthusiasm with not only their scientific mentors, but also peers across the Division who are just as eager to learn. Watch as current fellows share their experiences and emphasize the importance of the community.

DCEG fellows and interns are critical to the Division’s mission to conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the causes of cancer and the means of prevention. With access to the latest technology, methods, and data registries, along with partnerships across the NCI, NIH, and the global research community, fellows and interns are uniquely positioned to conduct world-class, collaborative research.

Mentoring is a core value of DCEG and central to everything we do. Fellows work with leading scientists in the field of cancer prevention and etiology research and participate in cutting-edge projects. Our fellows point to this professional guidance as a key benefit of their training.

Hear from our fellows as they discuss why they chose to work at DCEG, the office culture, mentoring relationships, and how their experiences have impacted their careers.

The 2016 summer internship program in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics (DCEG) comprised 46 summer interns and 53 mentors.

In 2015, participants in the summer intern program commented about themselves and their contributions to NCI research.

In 2015, Stephen J. Chanock, M.D., Director of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, gave the 11th Jeffrey M. Trent Lecture in Cancer Research, titled "The Complexity of Genetic Susceptibility to Cancer".

Dr. Mark Schiffman delivers the 2017 Robert S. Gordon, Jr., Award Lecture.

Dr. Stephen Chanock, Chief of the Laboratory of Translational Genomics of the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, discusses insights from cancer genome-wide association studies and the steps beyond.

Christian Abnet, Ph.D., discusses tobacco, the oral microbiome and cancer risk

"GAME-ON & OncoArray: An International Collaboration to Discover Cancer Genetic Risk Factors," describes how the OncoArray Network investigates the genetic architecture and mechanisms underlying cancers of the breast, ovary, prostate, colorectum, and lung. DCEG Director Stephen Chanock, M.D., was interviewed for the video. The Genetic Associations and Mechanisms in Oncology (GAME-ON) initiative was launched in 2010, jointly supported by the NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and the Division of Cancer Biology. The overall goal was to foster an intra-disciplinary and collaborative approach to the translation of promising research leads deriving from the initial wave of cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Dr. Joseph Fraumeni, Jr., and Dr. David Schottenfeld discuss cancer epidemiology over the last half-century and thoughts on the future, during a panel discussion in 2012.

Dr. Eric Engels discusses his research "Cancer After Organ Transplant: Understanding the Role of the Immune System".

Lindsay Morton, Ph.D. discusses childhood cancer survivors' risks of developing breast cancer later in life with ecancertv at AACR 2016.

Dr. Amy Berrington de González discussed medical radiation and cancer risk at an NIH Director's Seminar.

Dr. Sam Mbulaiteye discussed Burkitt Lymphoma at an NIH Director's Seminar, March 6, 2015.

DCEG investigators and families they study at the NIH Clinical Center discuss dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a rare and complex inherited cancer predisposition syndrome

DCEG Descriptive Epidemiology Seminar Series: Inaugural seminar by Dr. Joseph F. Fraumeni, Jr., former Director of the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, and Dr. Robert N. Hoover, Director of the DCEG Epidemiology and Biostatistics Program
