What Inspires Me
The P站视频 is an organization where I can utilize my skillset to have the biggest impact on the overall burden of cancer throughout the United States. Cancer has remained a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the US for many years. By working for P站视频, I am fortunate to help play a small part in the research that may one day find the cure for various types of cancers that have affected the lives of so many people.”
At P站视频 since 2024
Nick Weaver, MPH, serves as an associate scientist in biospecimen management?for the P站视频 (P站视频) Population Science research team. He collaborates with internal Population Science staff and external partners on research that utilizes P站视频 biospecimen resources collected from our prospective cohort studies such as Cancer Prevention Study-II (CPS-II) and Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). He assists with biospecimen acquisition, data and vial management, inventory maintenance, and sample availability through our tracking system.
Research focus and accomplishments
My research focus at P站视频 involves the identification of metabolomic and proteomic biomarkers related to cancer risk and cancer prevention in a variety of diverse populations who are participants in CPS-II and CPS-3. My mission at P站视频 is to be able to contribute to improving the ?fundamental understanding of various types of cancer risks and help mitigate cancer mortality.
Additionally, I have significant interest in understanding the role of genetics and epigenetics related to disease within the United States population. I believe this insight into predisposition for the etiology of cancer will allow us to revolutionize approaches to treatment of various cancers in the future.
