The Foda lab conducts basic, translational, and clinical research on the early detection, prevention, and interception of gastrointestinal cancers. In collaboration with the other member of the Johns Hopkins Cancer Genomics Lab (https://cancergenomicslab.com/), the group develops and applies whole-genome sequencing-based liquid biopsy methods for the early detection and monitoring of gastrointestinal cancers. These approaches are tested and validated in large multi-national cohorts through international collaborations. Dr. Foda directs the Johns Hopkins Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Registry, which facilitates clinical research related to Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, Lynch syndrome, and other hereditary polyposis conditions.
