General Research Interests

Kristan Aronson teaches at the graduate level in epidemiology and is the Graduate Program Director in that department. She was cross-appointed to the School of Environmental Studies in December of 2005. In that capacity, she has supervised the Master's project of Sarah Urquhart, a 2007 MES graduate, and is co-supervisor with Linda Campbell on the thesis of Estelle D'Souza ('08).
 

Kristan's research program examines the relative contribution of environmental and genetic factors in the etiology of cancer through multi-disciplinary studies. Advances in understanding of basic mechanisms of cancer causation, biomarkers of exposure and disease, and understanding of the human genome are incorporated into these studies, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, and Breast Cancer Action Kingston. Co-investigators include clinicians, chemists, molecular biologists, toxicologists, geneticists, pathologists, and other health researchers.

Areas of Potential or Present Thesis/Project Supervision

Human health and the environment; environmental risk factors for disease; environmental and occupational epidemiology; biomarkers of exposure; risk assessment.
