Dr. Warren Andersen is an Assistant Professor of Population Health Sciences in the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a cancer epidemiologist, she is interested in how social determinants, modifiable risk factors, and molecular factors work in concert to influence cancer risk and survivorship. Dr. Warren Andersen’s research interests build upon her previous training. She received her B.S. in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and later earned a M.S. and Ph.D. in Population Health from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center R25 Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology of Cancer (MAGEC) training program.

The overarching goal of our research program is to advance the understanding of the relations between social determinants, molecular characteristics, and modifiable risk factors with cancer risk and survivorship. Specific attention is given to the influence of sociocultural factors and tumor characteristics on health disparities in colorectal cancer risk. The research conducted within the Warren Andersen laboratory consists of clinical and population-based studies, primarily utilizing data from large cohort studies with stored biologic samples, cancer consortia datasets, and several epidemiological case-control studies.
