Dr.
Horn-Ross is a Senior Research Scientist
at the Northern California Cancer Center (NCCC) where she has
conducted her research since 1988. Her primary area of interest
is in the protective role that nutrition (particularly phytochemicals,
e.g., the phytoestrogens found in soy foods and isothiocyanates
found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables) can play
in the development of cancers of the breast, endometrium (lining
of the uterus), and thyroid. Dr. Horn-Ross received her BA in
psychology from Johns Hopkins University in 1981 and her PhD
in epidemiology from Yale University in 1986. In her spare time,
she dabbles in gourd art and genealogy.
