Titles & Roles

Assistant Research Professor

Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Emory University

Research

Dr. Eldridge uses his interest in advanced methods to study the biological mechanisms of cancer symptoms and survival. Currently, he is involved in identifying the differential metabolic pathways of head and neck cancer survival through high-resolution metabolomics, and identifying complex longitudinal patterns in patient-reported outcomes that predict poor survival.
