About the Lab
The Fejerman lab’s research projects are focused on breast cancer genetics and genetic epidemiology. Specifically, we are interested in explaining epidemiological patterns in breast cancer incidence and outcomes and investigating genomic and environmental factors.
Specific projects include the discovery of common breast cancer risk-associated genetic variants, the development of a breast cancer polygenic risk scores, and exploration of breast cancer gene expression patterns. Additionally, the Fejerman Lab leads a hereditary breast cancer outreach and education program in Southern and Northern California.
