Dr. Linda Cook received her PhD in epidemiology from the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in cancer epidemiology at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center (Seattle, WA). Focusing on female reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, and endometrial), she has extensive experience directing large population-based studies with de novo data collection and biologic specimen collection for over 30 years. She is a member of several large international consortia: 1) the Epidemiology of Endometrial Cancer Consortium (E2C2), an NCI-supported consortium dedicated to the study of the etiology of endometrial cancer; 2) the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC) dedicated to the identification of genes that may be related to the risk of ovarian cancer and to ovarian survival; and 3) the Ovarian Tissue Testing Association (OTTA) consortium, dedicated to the identification of tumor factors that may be related to risk and prognosis. Dr. Cook is particularly interested in the hormonal etiology of cancer, polygenic risk scores, and treatment association with survival.
