C. Max Schmidt studies cancers and precancerous conditions of the pancreas and related digestive organs, with a focus on pancreatic cysts such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and how they progress to cancer. The work combines surgical research with molecular tools like metabolomics (studying small molecules in tissue) and genomic classifiers to better detect and predict which lesions become dangerous. This blends clinical/surgical practice with laboratory science to improve early diagnosis and treatment.
