About Dr. Brown

Dr. Brown's research program works to identify the specific biological and biobehavioral pathways through which energy balance–related lifestyle factors—including physical activity, dietary patterns, and body composition—influence cancer prevention and control. His methodologic expertise is in the design and conduct of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies. Dr. Brown has published over 45 peer–reviewed papers in leading scientific journals, such as the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and is an editorial board member of BMC Cancer. In 2013, he received the citation award for authoring the most frequently cited paper in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. He has presented invited lectures on the role of lifestyle for cancer prevention and control across the United States, and his research has been featured in several major news outlets.

About Dr. Keyes

Dr. Keyes' research focuses on life course epidemiology with particular attention to psychiatric disorders, including examination of fetal origins of child and adult health, long–term outcomes of adverse childhood environments, and cross-generational cohort effects on substance use, mental health, and chronic disease. She is particularly interested in the development of epidemiological theory to measure and elucidate the drivers of population health. Dr. Keyes is an expert in methodological issues in age–period–cohort effect estimation, and her empirical work with this method has examined a range of outcomes including obesity, perinatal outcomes, substance use disorders, and psychological distress. She is the author of more than 170 peer–reviewed publications as well as two textbooks published by Oxford University Press with co–author Sandro Galea: Epidemiology Matters: A New Introduction to Methodological Foundation, published in 2014, and Population Health Science, published in 2016.
