Ulrike (Riki) Peters, PhD, MPH
PHS Program: Cancer Prevention Program
Research focus: My research interest centers on the genetic and molecular epidemiology of common complex diseases, including cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as intermediate traits, including inflammation and metabolic measurements. Within well characterized and diverse study populations, we are studying the impact of common and rare genetic variants across the entire genome, as well as interactions between genetic variants and environmental factors (such as diet, exercise, smoking and aspirin use).
I am currently leading or co-leading the following projects:
- The Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO) and the Colorectal Transdisciplinary (CORECT) Study
- Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE)
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) Grand Opportunity Exome Sequencing Project (GO-ESP)
- Selenium, Selenoenzymes and Cancer

Can Help Us
The Hutchinson Center's world-renowned scientists are discovering new ways to detect, prevent and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and many other diseases.
- License Our Discoveries
The Hutchinson Center's world-renowned researchers work together to pursue lifesaving therapies that will help eliminate cancer and related diseases.
The Hutchinson Center's clinical research breakthroughs are delivered to patients through our treatment arm, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. This collaboration combines the strengths of the Hutchinson Center, UW Medicine and Seattle Children's.
You can help eliminate cancer and related diseases by attending Hutchinson Center events and participating in our other fundraising and community efforts.
- Divisions
The Hutchinson Center's pioneering researchers push the boundaries of science to find new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer and related diseases.
Private support is critical to fund new research ideas and innovations, accelerating our ability to make lifesaving discoveries.
