What are your long-term career goals?

My goal is to become a physician-scientist. My research interests lie at the intersection of genetics and genomics and cancer biology, specifically breast cancer. I hope my work will have great promise for illuminating the mechanisms of cancer, developing diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies, and preventing breast cancer. I plan to conduct research at an academic institution and hold joint appointments to teach and mentor students. I also plan to attend residency to become an oncologist and partake in patient care.
