Dr. Nylander-French's research and teaching program is focused on understanding the consequences of human exposure to toxic substances. Her laboratory has pioneered quantitative measurement techniques for inhalation and skin exposures as well as for biological monitoring of toxicants to estimate total body dose, which is critical to assess risk to health. They are developing sophisticated mathematical, statistical, and toxicokinetic exposure-modeling tools in an effort to standardize and improve exposure and risk assessment. Currently, they are developing both exposure assessment methodologies and in vitro skin tissue models to investigate the role of individual genetic and epigenetic alterations to variations observed in biomarker levels after exposure to xenobiotics and to understand the impact and plausibility of these alterations on development of disease. This research requires a new scientific approach to quantitatively measure exposure to toxicants, determine individual differences, including genetic and epigenetic differences, between exposed subjects, and sophisticated exposure-modeling tools.

Dr. Wheeler is a health services researcher and decision scientist focused on quantifying the social, behavioral, clinical, and organizational factors that affect healthcare access, quality, value and equity. Her research portfolio is primarily focused on cancer care delivery, with particular emphasis on improving value, understanding the financial and psychosocial impacts of cancer, and reducing health disparities. She also is a methodological resource for simulation modeling and systems science, βbig dataβ linkages and analytics, behavioral intervention studies, and comparative and cost effectiveness research. Dr. Wheeler is especially knowledgeable and well-versed in using economic, epidemiologic, and systems modeling to support better healthcare decisions, and she is adept in handling and analyzing complex datasets, including SEER-Medicare data, state cancer registry data linked to all payer claims data, epidemiologic cohort data (e.g., Carolina Breast Cancer Study), and healthcare workforce data.
Research projects currently led or co-led by Dr. Wheeler include: (1) NCI-funded studies focusing on implementation of colorectal cancer screening in diverse populations; (2) a NCI-funded R01 focusing on implementation of a behavioral intervention to optimize ET adherence among black and white breast cancer survivors; (3) a NCI-funded R01 focusing on implementation of a financial navigation intervention to reduce financial toxicity in rural and non-rural communities; (4) an American Cancer Society-funded study focusing on cancer care quality and inequity surveillance using novel data methods; and (5) a NCI-funded P01 project focusing on using simulation modeling to support HPV vaccine communication intervention adoption and implementation in rural and non-rural communities.Β Other funded studies supported by Dr. Wheeler include projects focused on cost-effectiveness of implementation strategies used to enhance chronic disease care coordination interventions; effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multicomponent cancer screening navigation interventions; and monitoring cancer care quality and outcomes in diverse communities in NC.
Dr. Wheeler directs the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement within the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and is a member of the senior leadership team and the Lineberger Equity Council.Β She directs the CDC-funded Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network as PI of the Coordinating Center and is a research fellow at the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.Β She co-directs the NCI-funded T32 Cancer Care Quality Training Program (CCQTP).Β She currently serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of Clinical Oncology and Immediate Past Chair of the ASCO Quality Care Symposium.Β Dr. Wheeler was awarded the 2017 Hettleman Prize for Scholarly and Artistic Achievement and the 2017 Early Career Award from the Association of Schools and Programs in Public Health (ASPPH).Β In 2023, she was recognized as the Michael S. OβMalley Distinguished Professor of Cancer Health Policy and Community Engaged Research.
Dr. Daniel Westreich is a professor of epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health. He received his PhD in epidemiology from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2008.
Substantively, his research investigates the intersection of HIV with reproductive health. This work has elucidated relationships between pregnancy and response to antiretroviral therapy, clarified methodology for studying the potential impact of hormonal contraception on acquisition of HIV. He is currently a PI of the STAR Cohort of reproductive-age HIV-positive and -negative women, and a co-investigator on the MACS-WIHS Combined Cohort Study. He also studies issues related to COVID-19, and the intersection of HIV and chronic disease.
Methodologically, Dr. Westreichβs research focuses on methods in causal inference, and epidemiologic methods for implementation science. In 2014 he was awarded an NIH DP2 New Innovator award for the development of such methods. He is the author of the textbook Epidemiology By Design: A Causal Approach to the Health Sciences (https://www.epidemiologybydesign.com/), is an associate editor of the American Journal of Epidemiology and sits on the editorial board of Epidemiology.
