Research Interests
The overarching theme of Dr. Luebeck's research is to bridge the widening gap between cancer biology and population sciences. Over the years he and his team have developed bio-mathematical descriptions of carcinogenesis (primarily in colon, lung, pancreas and Barrett's esophagus) that help identify and characterize relevant spatio-temporal scales of cancer progression and understand the implications for more effective cancer screening.

The ultimate goal is to be able to model/optimize the benefits of cancer screening, prevention, and intervention - based on a biological description of the natural history of cancer.
