My name is Edgard Medawar. I am a graduate student working in clinical research in gastroenterology. The focus of my research projects relates to colorectal cancer screening and prevention in patients who have polyps discovered in a colonoscopy, by evaluating the safety of certain polyp resection methods, risk of future polyps and cancer, and surveillance intervals. I enjoy research for the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from colleagues and mentors. In my free time, I like to spend time with friends and family, and I enjoy playing soccer and chess.
