Professor PATRICIA A. BUFFLER, director of the Center for Integrative Research on Childhood Leukemia and the Environment and Professor at the University of California Berkeley, presents data from the California Childhood Leukemia Study showing that children whose parents smoked are more likely to develop leukemia in early childhood. Risks vary by the time period of smoking (preconception, prenatal, and early childhood), type and subtype of leukemia, and which parents smoked.

I worked for Dr. Buffler in the late 80's at UT-SPH and always admired her intellect and her heartfelt care and concern for people. She was not only a mentor that I will forever appreciate, but she did so much for the field of Epidemiology, and her research work and the sharing of her knowledge will live on. She touched so many lives. May her work carry on and may she rest in peace. We need more like her in this world.
