Overview

Pamela L. Horn-Ross is affiliated with the Cancer Prevention Institute of California in the United States. Their research primarily spans the broad field of Medicine, with specific focus on Oncology, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, and Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis. This multidisciplinary approach reflects a concentration on cancer risks and factors, birth and development health issues, and the effects and risks associated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

The scientist has contributed to recent publications encompassing these topics. Two notable papers include:

  • "Urinary cadmium and timing of menarche and pubertal development in girls," published in 2020 in Environmental Research
  • "Risk factors for endometrial cancer in black and white women: a pooled analysis from the epidemiology of endometrial cancer consortium (E2C2)," published in 2020 through UNC Libraries

Pamela L. Horn-Ross frequently collaborates with other researchers across related areas. Their coauthors include Peggy Reynolds, Alison J. Canchola, Christine Duffy, Susan Hurley, and Susan L. Neuhausen, indicating active engagement in collaborative epidemiological and cancer prevention research.

The main topics of their work highlight intersections of developmental health and cancer epidemiology, with particular attention to environmental and chemical exposures affecting cancer risks and developmental timing.

They have published in a range of academic venues, based predominantly on Environmental Research and UNC Libraries, reflecting a mix of peer-reviewed journal outputs and consortium-based research dissemination.
