University of Massachusetts
David Cachia MD FRCP (UK) Associate Professor in Neuro-Oncology at the University of Massachusetts. I received my medical degree from the University of Malta and underwent residency training at the University of Massachusetts before completing a fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology at the same University. I then completed a second fellowship in Neuro-oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Following completion of this fellowship I joined the Medical University of South Carolina as an Assistant Professor in Neuro-oncology in the Department of Neurosurgery. In 2021, I joined the University of Massachusetts. My main research focus is to better understand the challenges brain tumor patients face in maintaining their quality of life and work on developing interventions to improve their quality of life by including quality of life metrics in clinical research, and implementing support networks for these patients at an institutional and community level.
