Visiting Scholar - OBGYN

Position Overview

The Visiting Scholar will conduct independent research under the guidance of a scientific mentor in the areas of ovarian and endometrial cancer biology, with a primary focus on extracellular vesicle (EV)–mediated mechanisms of tumorigenesis. This research aims to elucidate how EV-associated proteins contribute to cancer initiation and progression, providing critical insights for the development of novel preventive strategies, biomarkers, and targeted therapies.
