NYC is one of the most heterogeneous cities in the U.S. She will share her work as the Associate Director of Population Science at the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center\, where she builds research programs that address the needs of the catchment area. She will also share research from the Center of Social Capital (SoCa) Promoting Multigenerational Health\, a center she co-leads in response to the National Cancer Institute’s Persistent Poverty Initiative. The mission of the Center is to improve cancer risk and outcomes in persistent poverty census tracts throughout NYC by promoting multi-generational health. She will highlight recent work from the center. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Rulla Tamimi is the Chief of the Division of Epidemiology in the Department of Population Health Sciences and Associate Director of Population Science at the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center. She is a cancer epidemiologist whose research has advanced our understanding of breast cancer risk and prognosis. Dr. Tamimi has led numerous NIH-funded studies and authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications\, identifying key genetic\, molecular\, and lifestyle predictors of breast cancer. Her work includes studies of early-life and environmental exposures\, molecular tumor characterization\, and mammographic features as predictors of disease. Throughout her career\, she has played a key role in developing collaborative research efforts\, with a long-term commitment to improving cancer prevention and health equity. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n Rulla Tamimi\, ScD \n \n Professor of Population Health Sciences; Population Health Sciences\, Weill Cornell Medical College \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Epidemiology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Executive and Continuing Education URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/epidemiology/events/research-addressing-cancer-disparities-in-new-york-city/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Rulla-Tamimi-calendar-image-1200-x-800-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260408T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260408T140000 DTSTAMP:20260408T082901 CREATED:20260325T124127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260330T035710Z UID:111360005916-1775653200-1775656800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Nature and Health with Dr. Susan Abookire DESCRIPTION:Home / 404\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrown Bag Seminar: The Lancet Commission on a Citizen-Centered Health System for India: Reform pathways towards UHC for a fifth of the world’s population\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Climate Change & Planetary Health Concentration invites you to their next Brown Bag Lunch Seminar\, featuring Dr. Susan Abookire discussing the health benefits of nature. \n\n\n\nTopic: Nature and Health\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Susan Abookire\, MD\, MPH\, Assistant Professor\, Harvard Medical School; & Founder\, Nature Systems Institute \n\n\n\nDate: April 8\, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nLocation: FXB G-12\, Harvard T.H.
