Dr. Laden’s research focuses on the environmental epidemiology of cancer and respiratory disease. She has been working with the Nurses’ Health Study, a large prospective cohort of U.S. women, to examine possible environmental risk factors (including exposures to PCBs and the pesticide DDT) of breast cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In the Harvard Six Cities Study she has studied the associations of specific sources of particulate air pollution with mortality.
