Professional Interests: Professor
Titus-Ernstoff is the Associate Director of the Hood
Center for Children and Families. Her research focuses
on two intersecting areas: 1) cancer etiology, with
a special interest in melanoma and women’s cancers,
and 2) the impact of prenatal and early life exposures
on adult health outcomes, including cancer. Specific
areas of study include biomarkers and genes involved
in melanoma risk and progression, and the intergenerational
transmission of epigenetic alterations related to adult
health outcomes. Dr. Titus-Ernstoff leads the NH Skin
Study of melanoma and oversees Dartmouth’s study
of ovarian cancer, conducted with colleagues at Brigham & Women’s
Hospital. She is a Principal Investigator of the National
Cancer Institute's DES (Diethylstilbestrol) Combined
Cohort Follow-up Study, which assesses the impact of
this prenatal exposure on adult health outcomes, including
cancer, and leads the NCI-sponsored multi-center study
of DES effects in the children of women who were exposed
prenatally to this drug. Dr. Titus-Ernstoff's work in DES was recently presented at the Gordon Research Conference. She works closely with NCCC
investigators studying the influence of movies on adolescent
smoking behavior, and the influence of the built environment
on adolescent obesity.
