Brian Chih-Hung Chiu is a Professor of Public Health Sciences and Family Medicine at the University of Chicago. His research primarily focuses on epigenetics and health disparities, particularly in the context of diseases like multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Dr. Chiu employs integrated modern molecular techniques and epidemiological approaches to investigate the causes and outcomes of these diseases in racially and ethnically diverse populations. He is actively involved in numerous international research consortia, including the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph) and the International Multiple Myeloma Consortium. Dr. Chiu leads several major NIH-funded research projects that aim to develop novel biomarkers for cancer prognostication and management, study lifestyle and biological factors influencing survival outcomes, and explore the role of environmental exposures in lymphoid malignancies.
