Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Dr. Visser's research interests span the breath of his clinical practice. Areas of active research include the multidisciplinary treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancers, technical aspects of minimally invasive pancreatic and liver surgery, and trends in the management of hepatobiliary cancers in California. He collaborates with numerous other physicians and scientists at Stanford, with active translational research collaborations in 3-dimensional culture of tumor cells (to allow more accurate prediction of response to medical therapy) (with Calvin Kuo, Hematology), pancreatic cystic tumor biomarker identification (with Walter Park, Gastroenterology), and prediction of microvascular invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma using computational image analysis in combination with next-generation genomic sequencing (with Nishita Kothary, Interventional Radiology)
