Christin E. Burd studies the biology of aging and cancer, focusing on how molecular markers of aging (such as p16INK4a, telomere length, and DNA methylation patterns) relate to cancer risk, treatment side effects, and frailty in older patients. Her work spans laboratory studies of melanoma development driven by oncogenic mutations and clinical/data-science projects using electronic health records and machine learning to predict chemotherapy toxicity in cancer patients. A prospective student would likely engage with both mouse-model cancer biology and translational research connecting aging biomarkers to real-world patient outcomes.
