My interests are in public health genomics and its applications for the prevention, management, and treatment of disease. Additionally, I have 3 publications under review in "the Prostate," "Breast Cancer Research," and "Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention." I have also presented my work at the American Society for Human Genetics and American Association for Cancer Research annual conferences.
