Research
I'm currently involved in meaningful research at two prestigious institutions, focusing on cancer disparities and prevention.
Current Research
Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities
Working with the Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities group at MSK to study how immigration status and background affect cancer outcomes and access to healthcare.
Focus Areas:
- Health disparities in immigrant populations
- Access to cancer screening and treatment
- Cultural factors in healthcare
Genetics and Personalized Cancer Prevention
Contributing to research with the Genetics and Personalized Cancer Prevention Program at Cornell, exploring how genetic information can be used to prevent cancer.
Focus Areas:
- Genetic risk assessment
- Personalized prevention strategies
- BRCA gene research
Why This Research Matters
Cancer affects millions of people worldwide, but not everyone has equal access to prevention, screening, and treatment. My research focuses on understanding and addressing these disparities, with a special interest in how genetic factors can help personalize cancer prevention strategies.
