David H. Nguyen, Ph.D., Studies Link childhood Trauma and Cancer.

David H. Nguyen, Ph.D., is a tumor biologist interested in figuring out why childhood trauma increases a person's risk of cancer during adulthood. His research seeks to make predictions about the biological mechanisms linking childhood trauma and cancer. He is the founding editor-in-chief of Cancer InCytes magazine, a free public health e-magazine (www.CancerInCytes.org) that talks about the deep connections between childhood trauma, cancer risk, and social injustice. He has published numerous cancer research articles in peer-reviewed journals and is author of the forthcoming graduate textbookSystems Biology of Tumor Physiology: Rethinking the Past, Defining the Future (Springer Science + Business Media).
