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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

Presentation was part of Cancer Epidemiology: From Pedigrees to Populations, a scientific symposium honoring 50 years of visionary leadership by Dr. Joseph F. Fraumeni, Jr., hosted by NCI’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).

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. Robert Hoover discusses the DES followup study, which follows diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposed and unexposed mothers, daughters and sons, and granddaughters for adverse health effects resulting from this exposure.

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