What happens when you mix basic scientists, clinical scientists and population scientists and collaborate on energy balance and cancer research? Magic! #TREC2022

I’m so honored to have my work presented at #SABCS2022 describing the impact of obesity and weight change after BC diagnosis on survival and to be alongside Melinda irwin sharing important findings from the LEANer trial on the impacts of a lifestyle intervention on PcR!

Absolutely loved watching Anlan Cao share findings from Melinda irwin’s WALC study showing a physical activity intervention can help improve chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy among ovarian cancer patients #ASPO2023 American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) #YaleCDE

Amazing #aspo2023 mtg with current and former YSPH PhD trainees Leah Puklin presenting predictors of healthy lifestyle change during chemo, Anlan Cao showing exercise improves neuropathy, En Cheng finding more muscle mass associated with better chemo completion. #ysph

Thank you #ASPO2023 for giving me the opportunity to share our findings on predictors of improving exercise and diet quality during chemotherapy for breast cancer (LEANer trial) Melinda irwin Yale Chronic Disease Epidemiology Department American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO)

So PROUD of our TEAL team and to be part of ENICTO Consortium consortium @SylvesterCance & Yale Cancer Center in collaboration with Melinda irwin Matthew Schlumbrecht Frank J Penedo, PhD @LopezPentecost Paola Rossi, MD Anlan Cao Leah Puklin National Cancer Institute

Check out this great article summarizing the results of the Lifestyle, Exercise and Nutrition early after Diagnosis (LEANer) trial recently published in Journal of Clinical Oncology by our research team!! medicine.yale.edu/news-article/s…

📚Check out our newest publication Professional supervision is important in #BehaviorChange but when resources are limited, the Lifestyle, Exercise, and Nutrition (LEAN) materials alone can be an effective alternative.💪Melinda irwin Tara Sanft Yale School of Public Health mdpi.com/2072-6694/15/1…

"I chose to attend YSPH (twice!) because of its world-class research opportunities, and faculty who put teaching and mentorship at the forefront." - Tiffany Chang, MPH '15, PhD ’24 (Yale Chronic Disease Epidemiology Department) ysph.yale.edu/news-article/r…

TEAL team trainees knocking it out of the park ENICTO Consortium consortium meeting representing Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and Yale Cancer Center!! So proud of all of you - Your futures are Bright!! Melissa Lopez-Pentecost, PhD, RDN LaShae D. Rolle, MPH, CPH Leah Puklin Anlan Cao

Time to change the narrative on weight gain after breast cancer diagnosis? Check out our newest publication. Among 5,441 BC survivors from Smilow Cancer Hospital in CT, overall 5-year weight change was modest, but certain groups are at-risk. Yale School of Public Health nature.com/articles/s4152…

Absolute best and most rewarding part of my job is when your mentees defend their dissertation! Congratulations Leah Puklin and Anlan Cao (pictured with chair of her committee, Leah Ferrucci) !! So proud!!!
