Background

[edit]

Immaculata De Vivo was born in Sarno, Italy and migrated to United States in 1970[citation needed] She earned her bachelor's degree at St. John's University in 1986, then proceeded for her MPH and PhD degrees at Columbia University New York in 1991 and 1993 respectively.[2] De Vivo was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley from 1993-1995 and at Stanford University from 1995 to 1998.

Research

[edit]

De Vivo's is known for her work on telomere length and disease risk, with special emphasis on risk of cancer development.[3][4][5] Her work on the impact of lifestyle on disease development especially cancer is noteworthy.[6][7][8]
