Research summary

Amanda E. Toland's research focuses on the genetics and epidemiology of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer, examining how inherited genetic variants, body composition (such as waist circumference), physical activity, and diet interact to influence cancer risk and molecular subtypes of tumors. Much of this work involves large, pooled datasets combining multiple cohort studies to study these relationships at a population scale. This research area sits at the intersection of genetics, nutrition science, and cancer epidemiology.

Publication output was fairly steady (10-30 per year) from 2017-2022, then increased sharply starting in 2023, likely reflecting large collaborative dataset releases alongside continued high output through 2024-2025.
