Chika Nwachukwu

I am a medical resident at Stanford University. My particular interests are in global oncology and the growing burden of cancers in LMICs, particularly, in the application of innovative ways to prevent, manage and treat. I have extensive research experience in cancers that disproportionately affect patients of African descent and I am passionate about tackling the growing cancer burden from unique perspectives. Majority of the cancer burden in LMICs are caused by infections and are therefore preventable at best and curable at worst. This proposal supports the prevention of cancers that are linked HIV and infectious in Africa through education.
