Research Interests & Projects
Throughout my doctoral training, I have developed a strong interest in utilizing observational
or epidemiological study methodologies, along with real-world data, to support key
aspects of cancer intervention, prevention, and care decision-making. My current dissertation
focuses on evaluating the risks and outcomes of various cancers that may be associated
with thyroid function. Specifically, my research investigates how conditions such
as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or
the medications and therapies that treat or induce these conditions, may impact cancer
incidence and survival using advanced statistical and methodological approaches such
as Mendelian Randomization.
I have had the opportunity to work with several leading research institutions, including the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center, among others.
