Dr. Nhu Le trained as a statistician, and began working as a research scientist with BC Cancer in 1992. Over his thirty plus years of work and service, Dr. Le has contributed significantly to research and care at BC Cancer and in his field.  Among these is the development of new statistical methodologies such as theories for measurement error adjustment in case-control studies and for interpolation of environmental fields.  With his extensive experience in environmental and occupational epidemiology, Dr. Le has conducted several large-scale epidemiologic studies, particularly in the pulp/paper and aluminum smelting industries, along with population-based case-control cancer studies including more recent work examining the gene-environment effects on ovarian cancer risk. Finally, collaborations with clinical colleagues at BC Cancer examining the effects of radiation and chemo-therapy on prognosis of ovarian cancer patients have led to changes in practice resulting in improved patient care for ovarian cancer patients.

Dr. Le has been appointed to Emeritus Status effective September 1st, 2023.
