Research/Academic Interests
As Principal Investigator of the SEER Cancer Registry of Greater California, Dr. Cress' research interests have been focused on using cancer registry data to identify disparities by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status in cancer treatment and survival. She has collaborated with UC Davis clinical researchers, particularly those in urologic oncology and gynecologic oncology. She is a member of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center's Population Sciences and Health Disparities Program, teaches cancer epidemiology, and mentors graduate students.
