http://www.150.alumni.tum.de/en/jacqueline-lammert-en/ Currently working towards completion of a doctorate degree at Technical University of Munich titled ‘Risk modifiers for the development of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in the LIBRE cohort'. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and will finish med school in Dec 2019. Many BRCA mutation carriers elect to undergo intensive screening instead of prophylactic surgery to manage their cancer risk, highlighting a need for evidence-based non-surgical options for diagnosis and prevention. My research focuses on 1. furthering our understanding of lifestyle factors associated with hereditary breast cancer risk, and 2. investigating the optimal management strategy for women at high risk for breast cancer.
