Dr. Bondy's research focus is in genetic and molecular epidemiology and is at the forefront of developing innovative ways to assess the roles of heredity and genetic susceptibility in the etiology of cancer, primarily brain and breast cancer. She leads the largest multinational family study of glioma patients, seeking to characterize genes in glioma families using a genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism approach and conduct linkage analysis to identify new genomic regions or loci that could harbor genes important for gliomagenesis.
