The Aldrich Lab uses epidemiologic study design, statistical analysis, and data science methods to (1) understand genetic and non-genetic factors contributing to lung cancer and (2) address lung cancer screening access. We conduct collaborative and cutting-edge genetic epidemiologic research to inform the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lung cancer.
The Aldrich Lab is dedicated to understanding disparities in lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a focus on racially diverse populations. We conduct collaborative and cutting-edge genetic epidemiologic research to inform the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lung cancer and COPD for all populations.
