Research
My previous research has been focused mainly on breast cancer. My PhD aimed to estimate a woman鈥檚 risk of developing invasive breast cancer applying individualized risk models based on her personal risk factors in order to personalize breast cancer screening.
Currently, my research is centered on childhood cancer, with a specific focus on identifying socioeconomic inequalities in the diagnosis process and treatment initiation for patients with this disease.
