Research summary
AI-generated

DuyKhanh P. Ceppa is a clinician-researcher in thoracic (chest) surgery whose work spans lung cancer screening and surgical treatment, esophageal and foregut conditions, and minimally invasive techniques such as video- and robot-assisted procedures. A substantial portion of the research also examines the surgical workforce itself, including diversity, gender differences, and career development in cardiothoracic surgery. Additional studies address health disparities, global surgery, and research ethics.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
