Professor
M_Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Iona Cheng, PhD, MPH is a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco and co-Investigator of the NCI SEER Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry. Her research is centered on examining the role of biological, lifestyle, environmental, and neighborhood factors in relation to cancer risk with an emphasis on understanding racial/ethnic differences in risk. She has conducted epidemiologic studies of breast, lung, and colorectal cancers within the Multiethnic Cohort Study and population-based cancer surveillance research across diverse populations.
