Avonne E. Connor, PhD, MPH, is a cancer epidemiologist who studies breast cancer and cancer health disparities among women and underserved populations across the cancer continuum.
Professor Connor is a cancer epidemiologist, focused on breast cancer in women and cancer health disparities research, with a background in both basic and public health sciences and expertise in conducting population-based research. With a focus on modifiable lifestyle factors, biological factors, and more recently social inequities, she has conducted research that identifies women at risk of breast cancer and poor health outcomes after breast cancer utilizing different epidemiologic methods and well established population-based data sources. Her research focuses on studying cancer outcomes among African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white women and underserved populations on both local and national levels. Her research goals are to improve our understanding of the underlying causes of cancer disparities among US minority women and underserved populations and implement changes to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality.
