Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies gastrointestinal cancers, especially colorectal, esophageal, and liver (hepatocellular) cancer, with a focus on prevention, early detection, and factors that affect who develops and survives these diseases. Work spans screening tests and biomarkers (such as blood-based tests and genetic risk scores), the possible cancer-preventive effects of common medications like metformin and aspirin, and how social and economic factors (such as neighborhood poverty) contribute to disparities in cancer outcomes.
