Postdoctoral Research Fellow
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
My name is Lucien Khalil, MD, and I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh working under the guidance and mentorship of Jose P. Zevallos, MD, MPH, FACS, chairman of the department.
My research focuses on head and neck cancers, health disparities, epidemiology, and population health. Additionally, I am working on analyzing lymph as a novel proximal bioanalyte to quantify minimal residual disease post-surgery for head and neck cancer, aiming to develop a rapid, practical, and sensitive method to guide personalized adjuvant treatment decisions.
