Clinical Trial Inclusion
Hello! My name is Luke Klett Roberto and I’m from Sacramento, California. I graduated from Santa Clara University in 2023 with a BS in Biochemistry, and I’m now an MS1 at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. As a first year student physician, I’m excited for this opportunity to discover my purpose in medicine and grow alongside the diverse communities in Los Angeles. My past research topics include paper-based microfluidic devices and correction modalities for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis. Within the Taparra lab, I am interested in examining the representation of NHPI individuals in clinical trials.

The team published in JAMA Network Open a study titled "Racial Disparities in Cancer Stage at Diagnosis and Survival for Adolescents and Young Adults". We found that there are significant 10-year overall survival gaps among Indigenous Adolescent and Young Adults with the top 10 deadliest cancers in the United States. Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders make up some of the largest deficits in long-term survival. The findings highlight significant work to be done specifically for the Indigenous Adolesecent and Young Adult population with cancer.
