- Overview of Chu Chen's Research
As an epidemiologist, Chen's research is addressing cancers of the breast, endometrium, lung, prostate, testes and head and neck. - Chen Lab
Investigators in the Chen lab are evaluating of environmental factors, genome-wide data on single nucleotide polymorphisms, heterozygosities, gene copy number alterations, gene expression profiles, and tissue microarray data, we hope to determine the links between environmental and genetic factors and the development of – and/or survival from – tobacco- and hormone-related cancers. - Public Health Sciences Division
Using large populations as our laboratory, our researchers look for links between cancer and its possible triggers, from diet and lifestyle to environmental and genetic factors. - Epidemiology Program
Fred Hutch's epidemiology program is aimed at understanding the factors that influence the incidence, distribution, and control of cancer and other harmful diseases within the human population.

At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home to three Nobel laureates, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle, Fred Hutch houses the nation’s first National Cancer Institute-funded cancer prevention research program, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women’s Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network.
