Research Abstract

I am a Hepatologist and epidemiologist, with a clinical research program focused on the lifestyle, medication and metabolic factors relevant to the early detection and prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). My research utilizes large databases, population-based cohorts and health outcomes research tools to identify major modifiable determinants of HCC risk. I also have experience applying novel bioinformatics approaches to uncover genetic, molecular and metabolic risk factors for HCC. Through these efforts, I hope to develop personalized tools to improve HCC risk prediction and chemoprevention.
