What are your long-term career goals?

“My current research goals revolve around unraveling cancer health disparities within diverse populations at the molecular level. Employing cutting-edge technologies like spatial transcriptomics and multi-omics high-resolution sequencing integrated with clinical big data using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, my focus is on contributing to precision medicine, tailoring treatments for diverse populations. Specifically dedicated to translational research in colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer and, my efforts involve molecular characterization of tumors in Hispanic Latinos and African Americans.”

Abstract #3932: Multi-omics characterization of molecular features and global-local genomic ancestry analysis of colorectal cancer in Hispanic- Latinos.
