Dr. Logan Spector is a Pediatric Cancer Epidemiologist specializing on the causes of childhood cancer with a focus on childhood leukemia, bone sarcomas, and hepatoblastoma. His work includes both traditional and genetic epidemiologic approaches. Dr. Spector has been PI or co-PI of nine National Cancer Institute funded studies of childhood cancer etiology or outcome, and is also the current PI for the T32 Epidemiology Research Training Grant. He works in collaboration with colleagues and trainees locally, nationally and internationally through the University of Minnesota, Children's Oncology Group and the Childhood Cancer and Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC). Dr. Spector is immediate past Chair of the Children's Oncology Group Epidemiology Committee; a former standing member of the NIH Cancer, Cardiovascular, and Sleep Epidemiology panel B study section; and an ad hoc reviewer for many journals. Currently Dr. Spector is the Chair of CLIC, which pools epidemiologic studies of pediatric cancers from across the world to better ascertain their causes. The ultimate goal of Dr. Spector’s research is to enable the prediction, early detection, and, eventually, prevention of childhood cancer.
