Established by Susan Pinney, PhD, associate professor, and Katie Brown, PhD, assistant professor, both of the UC Department of Environmental Health, the registry provides data on the incidence of breast cancer in the Tristate, including possible environmental factors. The registry also serves as a source for volunteers for various studies, breast cancer advocacy and education.
