His research interests focus on the assessment and management of the psychoneurological symptom clusters in oncology (e.g., cancer-related fatigue, psychological stress, anxiety, depression, etc.), and on the identification of the biological mechanism of common symptom clusters that occur as a result of cancer and/or its treatments through the circadian rhythms of potential immunological and endocrine biomarkers, in order to predict these symptoms for therapeutic targets. In addition, he has research interests in public health, cancer epidemiology, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
