Applying mathematics to lung cancer prevention

Like many of his colleagues in cancer research, Dr. Rafael Meza has a personal connection to cancer. His dad died from gastric cancer when Dr. Meza was 15 years old.

​“That got me interested in how I could dedicate my career to cancer while my interests were in mathematics and statistics,” he said. “Eventually, I figured out that I could do research in cancer using my math skills, so I was really fortunate.”
