BIOGRAPHY
Dr Laura Beane Freeman works at the US National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics, Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch. She received her doctorate in epidemiology from the University of Iowa in 2003 and completed post-doctoral training in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch of NCI.
She is currently the NCI Principal Investigator on the Agricultural Health Study, the Early Life Exposures in Agriculture Study and the NCI Formaldehyde Industries Cohort, and is also a member of the AGRICOH Consortium.
The focus of her work includes investigating cancer risk associated with a number of occupational and environmental exposures. Specifically, she conducts research related to the agricultural environment where excess risks are observed for Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukaemia, multiple myeloma, and cancers of the brain, skin, lip, stomach and prostate. Exposures suspected of contributing to the excesses include pesticides, viruses, mycotoxins and a variety of other agents.
