Dr. Honda is associate medical director, Research, Laboratory/Pathology & Diagnostic Imaging, chief of Pathology, medical director of Laboratories, CIHR medical director, and director of Point of Care Testing. She is also an investigator on several federally funded studies and is site PI of the National Kaiser Permanente Research Bank.
Dr. Honda’s broad research interests span many areas of medicine with specific interest in cancer research, genetic/molecular research, pharmacogenomics, as well as comparative effectiveness and care delivery research. In her role as CIHR medical director, she serves as a liaison between research and care delivery.

- MOLECULAR MARKERS OF RISK OF SUBSEQUENT INVASIVE BREAST CANCER IN WOMEN WTH DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU
-
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is a non-invasive non-obligate precursor of invasive breast cancer (IBC), but currently it is not clear which DCIS patients will develop subsequent IBC. Using molecular approaches for analysis of DCIS specimens, our goal is to identify/validate molecular markers associated with risk of IBC development. The findings of this study might enhance the development of molecular markers for prediction of IBC risk and also improve the clinical management of women at high risk of IBC (e.g., by leading to the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting the molecular changes associated with invasive disease development, and by enabling chemoprevention to be targeted to specific subgroups of women).

- CENTER FOR RESEARCH TO OPTIMIZE PRECISION LUNG CANCER SCREENING IN DIVERSE POPULATIONS
-
This project focuses on evaluating the benefits, harms, and costs of lung cancer screening and prevention in community health systems, with a particular focus on improving lung cancer screening and addressing health disparities in lung cancer-related deaths. The focus on addressing health disparities is particularly important for lung cancer, because lung cancer deaths are highest amongst medically underserved populations. The results of this work will ultimately be used to develop new interventions to decrease lung cancer deaths.
