Dr. Iyer

Hari Iyer, ScD, MPH
Assistant Professor
Division of Medical Oncology, Section of Cancer Epidemiology and Health Outcomes


Dr. Iyer is a cancer epidemiologist studying how neighborhood environments influence prostate cancer outcomes and care patterns in diverse populations. Using occupational and registry-based cohorts, Dr. Iyer links neighborhood socioeconomic and built environment features to participant addresses over time to determine how these features influence prostate cancer progression and care patterns.

Dr. Stroup

Antoinette Stroup, PhD
Professor and Assistant Director of Research and Catchment Data, Center for Health Equity
Director, New Jersey State Cancer Registry

Dr. Stroup’s expertise in cancer surveillance and descriptive epidemiology has led to research that not only advances methods to assess the burden of disease in large geographically-defined populations, but has led to a growing disparities research portfolio to identify special populations that might be at greater risk for cancer or are underserved.
