Post-Doctoral Fellow
Cancer Disparities Research
What Keeps Me Going
In healthcare, one size does not fit all. This drives my passion for dissecting the many factors that influence cancer outcomes, especially those we can change. At P站视频, I'm proud to contribute to research informing evidence-based policies and interventions that improve care quality and reduce cancer disparities."
At P站视频 since 2024
Qinran Liu, PhD, MPH, is a postdoctoral fellow with the Cancer Disparity Research team in the Surveillance & Health Equity Science department at the P站视频 (P站视频). Under the mentorship of Farhad Islami, MD, PhD, she investigates the multilevel determinants of cancer disparities. Her special focus is studying modifiable risk factors to help identify disadvantaged groups and develop potential strategies to mitigate their risks of developing cancer.
Research focus and accomplishments
Liu's research systematically explores the multifactorial influences on racial and ethnic disparities in the cancer care continuum, from diagnosis to treatment and survival. Her doctoral work enhanced the Florida Cancer Registry by linking it with statewide discharge data, providing comprehensive clinical insights on comorbidities and treatments. Her research also highlighted the importance of disaggregating racial/ethnic groups to develop targeted cancer control strategies.?
Additionally, she investigates life-course cancer risk factors, from early life exposure to dynamic social support, using data from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).?
