Area of Interest
My research interests focus on evaluating the net benefits of cancer screening in real world settings, the incorporation of biomarkers to improve risk prediction, and comparative effectiveness of new cancer screening and surveillance tools. I currently lead two prospective population based registries — the Carolina Mammography Registry and the North Carolina Lung Screening Registry. I am co-PI on the UNC Lineberger Accrual, Enrollment, and Screening Site (ACCESS) Hub of the NCI Cancer Screening Research Network (CSRN).
News and Stories
Investigating approaches to make lung cancer screening more effective
To better understand the burdens of false-positive lung cancer screenings and ways to mitigate them, the NCI awarded UNC Lineberger researchers a $3.2 million grant to identify the potential harms of false-positive results at the patient, clinician, and facility levels.
UNC Lineberger hosts inaugural Innovate Cancer Data Science Symposium
Researchers, clinicians, data scientists and trainees gathered for the inaugural UNC Lineberger Innovate Cancer Data Science Symposium, a daylong event highlighting the rapid evolution of AI, genomics and data‑driven tools shaping the future of cancer care.
