Welcome


Welcome to the Cincinnati Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Center (BCERC)!  The Cincinnati BCERC is one of four national centers sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute.

We have remodeled and updated our web site.  View our educational materials and public programs (COTC).  Learn about the Growing Up Female study of young girls (Epidemiology Studies).  Find out how diet and environmental chemicals may affect breast cancer (Biology Studies).  Meet the researchers and breast cancer advocates active in the Cincinnati BCERC (Center Partners).  View presentations by world class scientists (Video Library).  Access on-line resources about breast cancer and environmental chemicals (Information Resources).  Consider how you can become involved in the Cincinnati BCERC (Volunteer).

We hope this web site is helpful to you.  Please send your comments and questions so we can continue to improve this site.
