Speakers
Diane Von Ah, PhD, RN, FAAN
Dr. Diane Von Ah is a leader in oncology symptom science, focusing on cognitive dysfunction in cancer survivors. Her research includes identifying cognitive dysfunction, exploring its mechanisms and impacts, and developing interventions to alleviate it. Her work, including pioneering clinical trials on cognitive training for breast cancer survivors, is widely recognized and well-funded.
Claire Han, PhD, DNP, RN, APRN-CNP
Dr. Claire Han’s research focuses on the sociobiological mechanisms of symptom toxicity in gastrointestinal cancers, particularly colorectal cancer survivors. It examines microbiome-brain-gut interactions, the impact of race and social determinants of health on symptom disparities, and lifestyle interventions for managing long-term symptoms in racial and ethnic minority populations. The study employs big data analysis, machine learning, and quantitative research methods to explore these areas.
Yesol Yang, PhD, RN, APRN-CNP
Dr. Yesol Yang is a nurse PhD scientist specializing in breast cancer control and survivorship, with a research focus on understanding and addressing cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in breast cancer survivors. She is currently leading a pilot study using functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore brain-social risk phenotypes of CRCI.
Elizabeth Arthur, PhD, APRN-CNP, AOCNP
Dr. Liz Arthur is an oncology advanced practice nurse and health behavior scientist focused on improving quality of life and access to care for cancer survivors. Her research spans three main areas: women's sexual health post-cancer treatment, geriatric cancer survivor outcomes and access to care, and addressing cancer health disparities through community advocacy.
