Her body of work includes studies with rigorous case-control and cohort designs, large multisite data coordination, and studies with intensive molecular and genetic components.

In the field of cancer epidemiology, Ms. Rosenthal’s work has focused on the association of environmental, occupational, reproductive, genetic, and infectious risk factors with a variety of cancers. This research has led to advances in understanding what causes cancer and leads to better prevention and control. The primary client for Ms. Rosenthal’s work in this field has been the National Cancer Institute.
