My longterm goal is to utilize novel research methodology to generate scientific knowledge in molecular and cancer biology contributing to the development of efficient interventions to decrease diseases. I further aspire to improve the health of minority populations around the world by identifying and addressing the disparities in cancer outcomes due to race, geography, and other contextual and/or socioeconomic factors. In addition, I desire to work as an independent principal investigator in an environment tailored to preventative disease measures all while training up future minority cancer scientists
