About the Research Group

Mission

Plans, develops, directs, and coordinates extramural research programs in diet, nutrition, and cancer as it relates to cancer prevention
Generates and tests hypotheses relating diet to the causation and prevention of cancer
Develops quantitative methods to monitor nutritional intake in large populations
Fosters research to identify the molecular action of bioactive food components
Oversees diet, nutrition, and cancer activities, coordinating these with related activities in other research and health agencies
The group collaborates with other national and international, federal, and non-profit organizations related to nutritional science research and cancer prevention, including: NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices, Food and Drug Administration, United States Department of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, World Cancer Research Fund / American Institute of Cancer Research, and American Dietetic Association.

Internship Opportunities

The NCI Summer Internship program provides high school, college, and graduate students the opportunity to work with NCI staff. Summer interns assist in the the design, interpretation, and conduct of research projects.

Opportunities exist within the Nutritional Science Research Group to examine the relationship of nutrition to molecular mechanisms, genetics, clinical applications, and public health.
