Halcyon Skinner, PhD, is an
Assistant Professor of Population Health Sciences and a Member of the UW
Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Skinner received his Bachelor's degree from
Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut in 1992. His training in
epidemiology began with an MPH degree at the
University of Miami (1997) followed by a PhD in Epidemiology from the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (2002). Dr. Skinner
completed post-doctoral training at the
Harvard School of Public Health and the
Channing Laboratory of Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2003.
Dr. Skinner's research focuses on epidemiologic studies of cancer etiology with
a particular emphasis on pancreatic cancer. He collaborates with clinical
investigators to develop data resources to identify factors that influence the
risk and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Dr. Skinner maintains a collaborative
relationship with researchers at
Harvard University for investigating the influence of dietary, lifestyle,
and genetic factors on the risk of pancreatic cancer in large cohort studies.
