Biography
I am a Professor at UC San Diego, holding joint appointments in the Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. My scientific pursuits focus on harnessing the vast information contained in large-scale omics datasets to deepen our understanding of the mutagenic and non-mutagenic processes that drive cancer initiation and progression. I aim to leverage this knowledge to identify novel cancer prevention strategies and to engineer innovative approaches for targeted treatment. Additionally, I am passionate about developing next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to address inequalities in precancer interception, cancer diagnosis, and cancer care.
