What are your long-term career goals?

“I am an early-career investigator and Assistant Professor at Saint John’s Cancer Institute (formerly John Wayne Cancer Institute). As a research scientist, I am advocated to improve oncological patient healthcare and personalized medicine. My translational research goals are committed to develop new potential blood-based and tissue biomarkers 1) to improve early detection of solid tumors, 2) to monitor current available treatments, and 3) to unravel regulatory pathways promoting drug resistance to therapies.”
