Catchment Areas of NCI-Designated Cancer Centers is a web-based application that serves as a visualization tool for the geographically defined catchment areas of NCI-Designated Cancer Centers.

I co-first authored an article in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention entitled “A National Map of NCI-Designated Cancer Center Catchment Areas on the 50th Anniversary of the Cancer Centers Program” with Dr. Peter DelNero.

I received an annual Career Development Award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Director Intramural Innovation Award Program that is designed to support development of highly innovative approaches and technology aimed at significant cancer–related problems.

I first authored an invited commentary in the American Journal of Epidemiology entitled “Invited Commentary: Predicting incidence rates of rare cancers: adding epidemiologic and spatial contexts.”

I hosted Dr. David Wheeler, Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics within the School of Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), for the National Cancer Institute Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program Cancer Prevention and Control Colloquia Series.

I was a co-author on a poster entitled “Comparing the association of self-reported race-ethnicity and genetic ancestry with all-cause mortality: A pan-cancer survivor analysis in the PLCO Screening Trial” at the 14th AACR Conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved by Dr. Derek Brown and Dr. Jacqueline Vo held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

I presented a poster entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study participants” at the 2021 FDA-NIH-NIST-USDA Joint Agency Microbiome (JAM) Symposium held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This poster was previously presented at the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology 2020 Annual meeting.

I presented my oral abstract entitled “Roadway Proximity and Lung Cancer Risk in NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Participants” at the 33rd Annual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

I first authored an article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Ingestion of Nitrate and Nitrite and Risk of Stomach and Other Digestive System Cancers in the Iowa Women’s Health Study.”

I presented my invited talk entitled “Estimating environmental mixtures in a geospatial context” in a symposium entitled “Implementing geolocation-based exposure assessments” at the Society for Epidemiologic Reserach 2021 annual meeting held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
