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). I am advocated to improve oncological patient healthcare by advancing in patient diagnosis, treatment selection, and personalized medicine. My translational research goals are to develop new potential blood 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 and tumor progression.
