Iona Cheng, PhD, MPH

Professor, Epidemiology & Biostatistics
Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Dr. Iona Cheng is an epidemiologist with research interests focused on the role of genetics, health behaviors, environmental exposures, and neighborhood factors on cancer incidence and prognosis. Her overall research program is centered on understanding racial/ethnic differences in cancer risk. Dr. Cheng has an active program of research studies of nested case-control and cohort studies of the breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate cancer within the Multiethnic Cohort Study and is developing an electronic health record cohort of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders through collaborations between Sutter Health and Kaiser Permanente Hawaii. In addition, she is conducting studies within Population Architecture Using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Study to discover novel genetic loci for complex traits among non-European ancestry populations. She is also Co-Investigator of Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry, a part of the California Cancer Registry and the NCI Surveillance Epidemiology End Results (SEER) Program, and the Colon Cancer Family Registry.
