Dr. Raphael Cuomo is a professor and scientist at the University of California, San Diego. He researches how everyday choices interact with our biology to influence disease risk over time. He has also studied how a factor may exert distinct effects on health depending on disease state, an interest which led to an observation now known as "Cuomo's Paradox," as well as his work as the founder of the scientific discipline of Survival Epidemiology.
He has published over 100 scientific articles and leads a lab focused on connecting daily life to cancer biology. Dr. Cuomo teaches clinical research at UCSD and is often featured in national media for his work at the intersection of science and lifestyle.
His findings have been covered by several media outlets, including NBC, CNN, The Telegraph, The Washington Post, and MSN.
