Dr. Jung s research at UCLA has focused on identifying cancer-related biomarkers associated with obesity as potential strategies for cancer prevention. She incorporates genetic approaches to evaluate the effect of gene-environmental interactions on the pathways connecting the cancer-relevant biomarkers to cancer carcinogenesis. Areas of Scholarly Expertise and Interest Research design, statistical analyses, multivariate modeling, survival, CART, Baron-Kenny approach, genetic association, gene-environmental interaction
