Research
Dr. Barandouzi's research interests focus on patient-reported outcomes, cancer symptom science and management, omics science and health disparities. Dr. Barandouzi is currently investigating how the interaction of multilevel social determinants of health with the gut-brain axis contributes to developing and maintaining psychoneurological symptoms in cancer survivors.
