5 Highlighted Researcher S. Kusuma Pokala (Medical Student) Kusuma Pokala is a student at Emory University School of Medicine with an expected graduation date of May, Her interest in the field of gastroenterology began during her first year of medical school and has deepened over the years. Under the guidance of Dr. Field F. Willingham, she is investigating the incidence, survival, and markers of regional lymph node metastasis in different types of gastric tumors. With increasing advances in endoscopy, this information helps determine which patients are good candidates for endoscopic resection. This fall, she is applying to internal medicine residency programs with the goal of completing a Gastroenterology fellowship after residency. Outside of research, she enjoys trying new recipes, traveling, and hiking. Learn more about Kusuma s work at the 9th annual Department of Medicine Research Day on Friday, 10/28 in the Cox Hall Ballroom, where she will present Predictors of lymph node involvement in early stage gastric adenocarcinoma in the United States."
