Overview

Dr. Jung is an Associate Professor in the UCLA School of Nursing and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. Dr. Jung is a faulty member of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Genetics & Genomics Graduate Program in Bioscience. Dr. Jung is a molecular genetic cancer epidemiologist. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. During her graduate studies in Pittsburgh and later, she accumulated an array of research experiences in hospital-based metastatic breast cancer and lung cancer cohorts for cancer treatment and prognosis. Dr. Jung’s research at UCLA has focused on examining cancer-related metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers associated with lifestyle factors as cancer prevention strategies. Her current genetic and epigenetic studies evaluate the interplay of environmental/behavioral factors and genetic/epigenetic markers on molecular pathways, leading to cancer carcinogenesis and progression, which will contribute to the development of genetically/epigenetically targeted interventions.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
