Dr. Bertrand’s research focuses primarily on the epidemiology of cancer, with an emphasis on understanding racial disparities in incidence and outcomes. She is currently Multiple Principal Investigator of the Black Women’s Health Study (BWHS), a prospective cohort study of over 59,000 self-identified Black women begun in 1995. Dr. Bertrand is actively involved in several epidemiologic studies to evaluate risk factors for high mammographic density, a strong independent predictor of breast cancer, and the role mammographic density and other risk factors may play in breast tumor aggressiveness in this and other populations. In addition, she leads research to identify factors that explain racial disparities in multiple myeloma.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

I am deeply committed to teaching and mentoring the next generation of research scientists and I am dedicated to developing a diverse scientific workforce and promoting an inclusive and supportive scientific and academic environment, where trainees from every background, including the most disadvantaged, can thrive. Many of my current and previous mentees have been from underrepresented minority groups. I am also a mentor for BUMC’s American Cancer Society Post-Baccalaureate Fellows Program (PI: Rachel Flynn), which aims to increase diversity in the cancer research workforce by increasing the number of underrepresented groups in Biomedical Science.

As a recognized leader in cancer disparities research, I was recently invited to serve on a panel to review R01 grant applications to the NCI Cancer Moonshot Scholars Diversity Program. I am also a mentor with NCI’s Early Investigator Advancement Program, which aims to facilitate the advancement of underrepresented scientists in cancer research. My commitment to these activities is influenced both by my scientific interest in reducing cancer disparities as well as my experiences in academia as a first-generation college graduate.

I am deeply committed to teaching and mentoring the next generation of research scientists and I am dedicated to promoting an inclusive and supportive scientific and academic environment, where trainees from every background can thrive. In 2022-2023, I participated in the Boston University Provost Mentor Fellows program to strengthen my skills in this area and deepen my mentoring practices. In addition to mentoring students, postdocs, and early career faculty working with the Black Women's Health Study, I am also a senior faculty mentor for the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine Propelling Rise Of Faculty (PROF) initiative to assist Assistant Professors in reaching their goals for promotion to Associate Professor.
