Overview

Ute Hamann is affiliated with the German Cancer Research Center in Germany. Their research spans multiple areas within biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a significant focus on genetics, molecular biology, oncology, cancer research, and pathology and forensic medicine.

Their research primarily addresses topics related to BRCA gene mutations in cancer, genetic associations and epidemiology, global cancer incidence and screening, nutrition in relation to genetics and disease, DNA repair mechanisms, genetic factors in colorectal cancer, and genomics focused on rare diseases.

Their recent publications cover a range of studies in cancer genetics and epidemiology. Some notable papers include:

  • Pathology of Tumors Associated With Pathogenic Germline Variants in 9 Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes, 2022, JAMA Oncology
  • Physical activity, sedentary time and breast cancer risk: a Mendelian randomisation study, 2022, British Journal of Sports Medicine
  • Combined Associations of a Polygenic Risk Score and Classical Risk Factors With Breast Cancer Risk, 2020, JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute
  • Polygenic risk modeling for prediction of epithelial ovarian cancer risk, 2022, European Journal of Human Genetics
  • Breast cancer risks associated with missense variants in breast cancer susceptibility genes, 2022, Genome Medicine

Hamann frequently collaborates with researchers such as Manjeet K. Bolla, Irene L. Andrulis, Kamila Czene, D. Gareth Evans, and Stig E. Bojesen, reflecting a network of cooperation primarily in cancer genetics research.

Their work has been published extensively in several venues, including:

  • UNC Libraries
  • Breast Cancer Research
  • European Journal of Human Genetics
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Research Square (Research Square)

Their contributions span over 138 publications, distributed among fields related to biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. The focus on molecular and genetic aspects of cancer pathology and epidemiology aligns with their extensive involvement in research examining inherited cancer susceptibility and polygenic risk models.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a career in Medicine doesn’t always mean becoming a doctor. There are a variety of related online degrees and career options worth considering. For those interested in the administrative side of healthcare, getting a medical billing and coding certification cost can be a cost-effective way to enter the healthcare field quickly.

Nursing remains a growing field with high demand. You can find cheap online fnp programs to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, or explore affordable nursing programs online for RN and BSN degrees. Both offer flexibility for working adults and those needing to balance family or job commitments.

If you already have experience in nursing and are thinking about careers in research or academic leadership, look at online phd programs in nursing. These advanced degrees expand opportunities in teaching, policy, and specialized clinical practice.

Whether you’re starting or advancing in the medical field, affordable and flexible online pathways can open doors to rewarding healthcare careers.
