En Cheng, MD, PhD, is a Research Fellow at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research. He is dedicated to promoting the adoption and integration of cancer research findings into everyday practice and public health settings to improve the health and healthcare of the population. His research focuses on long-term survival and causes of death after cancer diagnosis; health outcomes among young cancer populations; the development of novel prediction models for individualized survival after cancer diagnosis; the effects of diet, lifestyle, energy balance, and body composition on cancer risk, survival, and treatment-related complications; and disparities in healthcare and health outcomes among cancer survivors.

Dr. Cheng received his MD from Peking University and earned his PhD in epidemiology at Yale University. He also holds an MSPH in epidemiology from Emory University.
