Dr. Huo’s research interests focus on the genetic, molecular, and environmental factors underlying the etiology, prognosis, and treatment of cancers, particularly those related to underserved populations. His research spans areas of cancer epidemiology, clinical epidemiology, genetic epidemiology of breast cancer among African ancestry women using genome-wide association and whole genome sequencing approaches, environmental and lifestyle factors affecting breast cancer etiology in African women, health disparities in breast cancer outcomes from a multiethnic patient cohort, and the effectiveness of cancer treatments using big data. He has also investigated prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol in relation to clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina and cervix, along with health conditions across the lifespan. His work further delves into the roles of epigenetics, non-coding RNAs, and microRNAs in relation to cancer prognosis and survival.
