Summary

The research program of Dr. Goode focuses on the genetic and molecular epidemiology of cancer, particularly ovarian, colorectal, and breast cancers.

Dr. Goode runs an ongoing ovarian cancer case-control study at Mayo Clinic, which is part of the international Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium. Currently, the group is focused on large-scale analysis of genetic variants related to the NF-kappaB family of transcription factors. This group is also part of a genome-wide association analysis utilizing over 610,000 genetic markers, with a focus on survival studies and analysis of copy number variation.

As part of the Colorectal Cancer Family Registry, Dr. Goode oversees a genome-wide linkage scan of 400 high-risk colorectal cancer families that have previously been screened for known mutations in mismatch repair genes.
