I-MeiSiu Cancer DiscoveryUnited States

Scientist editor with extensive knowledge and experience in scientific publishing. Building upon my extensive history of the study of the causes and treatment of colorectal cancer and central nervous system (CNS) tumors, including genomic characterization and cancer stem-like cells, I handle manuscripts throughout the entirety of the editorial process. I also attend scientific meetings to extend my cancer knowledge base, interact with potential authors and reviewers, identify active fields of cancer research, and commission reviews.
