Scientific summary

My main research interests are focused on understanding associations between lifestyle (e.g. diet, physical activity, obesity) with cancer and other metabolic diseases in epidemiology and clinical studies, using various biostatistical techniques for high-dimensional and longitudinal data, within the context of international collaboration.
