What Inspires Me

Cancer remains a mysterious and heavy burden to human health across the globe. Through my previous experience as a nurse and in my personal life, I've become very familiar with how intense the experience of cancer is for patients and their families. I'm thrilled to be a part of ACS as an organization that's engaged in combatting cancer on many fronts, and in my case through prevention research.”

At ACS since 2021

Mariah Landry, BSN, MSPH, spent her first three years at the American Cancer Society (ACS) working with primary investigators to achieve their analytic goals. She worked primarily with Cancer Prevention Study-II (CPS-2) and Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) data.

Currently, Mariah works with the study management team building portal content, creating surveys, and preparing data from CPS-3 studies for analytic purposes. Mariah is also involved with participant engagement, improving the CPS-3 participant potal experience, data modernization, and portal logistics for new ACS cohort - the VOICES of Black Women.

Landry is thrilled to strive towards elucidating the stressors and ameliorators of various cancers through ACS cohort studies. She's inspired by the possibility that the research she supports today may help future generations have better control over their health and longevity.

Landry has a wide range of interests in cancer, but she’s particularly interested in the relationship between environmental exposures and cancer development. She’s honored to be working with the Population Science team because the broad approach to research facilitates boundless opportunity to better understanding one of the most pressing health issues of our time.
