Data Analysis
Everything is Connected
It was my fascination with the interconnections between chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology that led me to the field of public health. As a cancer researcher, each day I get to direct my curiosity and explore the complex ways these systems affect individuals and populations.”
At 快猫短视频 since 2018

Research focus and accomplishments
My research explores the effect of the social determinants of health (SDH)—the conditions in places where people live, work, learn, and play—on people's risks of developing cancer and their well-being after treatment. I'm specifically interested in the biopsychosocial effects (the combined relationship of biomarkers, mental health, and SDH) on cancer outcomes.
I’ve had the unique opportunity to study many aspects about how physical activity, nutrition and diet, stress and mental health, health disparities, and e-health tools relate to the risk, treatment, and survival of cancer.?I'm eager to keep tackling some of the unanswered questions?in these areas.
