Her research also includes broader supportive care topics such as physical rehabilitation, quality of life, and resiliency programs for older adults undergoing cancer treatment, plus some public health work on nutrition and food policy among youth. Studies often involve clinical trials, patient-reported outcomes, and survivorship education efforts.
