My research goal is to characterize, study, and identify remedies to mitigate the socioeconomic, biological, and clinical factors that impact treatment outcomes and survival in children with cancer, with a specific interest in pediatric leukemias. I study geospatial differences among communities that impact cancer survival outcomes.
