Brenda Cartmel, Ph.D.
Research Scientist,
Division of Chronic Disease Epidemiology
Dr. Cartmel's primary research interests are in the area of cancer survivorship, nutrition and cancer prevention. Dr. Cartmel is participating in a longitudinal nationwide quality of life study in cancer survivors, in which she is studying use of health information by long-term survivors. She is also participating in two randomized intervention trials assessing the effect of exercise on quality of life in ovarian cancer and breast cancer survivors. In addition, she is a collaborator on a case-control study of early-onset basal cell carcinoma of the skin, and a validation study of a novel method for measuring carotenoids in vivo.
