Life
[edit]Lan earned a M.D. from the Weifang Medical University in 1985.[1][2] In 2001, she completed a Ph.D. in molecular epidemiology at the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, as part of a joint training program with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1][2] Lan earned a M.P.H. at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.[1]
Lan was awarded National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientific tenure in 2008.[1] She uses classic epidemiologic methods, exposure assessment approaches, and biomarker platforms to evaluate relationships between exposures and cancer, and to obtain mechanistic insight.[1][3] Lan is a senior investigator in the occupational and environmental epidemiology branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).[1] Her research focuses on the molecular epidemiology of indoor air pollution and lung cancer and occupational exposures to known or suspected carcinogens, as well as the etiology of hematopoietic malignancies.[1] She has conducted molecular epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to well-defined classes of chemical compounds that are known or suspected carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, diesel, carbon black, nanoparticles, and others.[1] Lan and her colleagues apply "omic" technologies in their studies including metabolomics, genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and whole genome sequencing, as well as conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS).[1]
