Postdoctoral Fellow
National Cancer Institute
Zeinab Farhat, Ph.D., M.P.H. is a postdoctoral fellow in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch (MEB) within DCEG. Dr. Farhat received her PhD in epidemiology at the University at Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions, with a concentration in cancer epidemiology. Her research focused on cancer prevention through the study of dietary and other modifiable lifestyle factors and uses biomarkers to reveal potential underlying mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Dr. Farhat is currently working with Dr. Erikka Loftfield investigating modifiable risk factors, particularly diet, for gastrointestinal cancers using an integrated omics approach to better understand the impact of human and microbial metabolism on diet-cancer associations. In the long-term, Dr. Farhat aims to extend her research on lifestyle factors to cancer survival with a focus on the role of diet and supplement use in the prognosis of cancer.
