About me

I am a molecular and clinical epidemiologist with a focus on cancer epidemiology and a background as a board-certified internal medicine physician. As an Assistant Professor of Medicine, my main research interest is how potentially modifiable exposures cause solid tumors and influence cancer outcomes. I am passionate about combining well-defined observational studies and state-of-the-art genomics in order to guide cancer prevention and treatment. My methodologic and teaching interests include application and further development of epidemiologic methods for high-dimensional biomarker studies and clinical studies.

In my interdisciplinary research program, I bring together and lead teams across epidemiology, genomics, pathology, bioinformatics, clinical medicine, and preclinical research. My research has been funded by the NIH/National Cancer Institute, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, a Department of Defense Early-Investigator Research Award, and several other third-party grants.
