Hello, I’m Dr. Kavanya Feustel, a hematology and oncology clinical fellow committed to pioneering personalized cancer care through the lens of precision medicine and targeted therapies. My medical journey has been shaped by extensive training, a passion for innovative treatment approaches, and a holistic view of patient well-being that encompasses psychological health, nutrition, lifestyle, and overall quality of life.
Education and Training
I earned my M.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2021 after completing a B.A. in Biology with minors in French and Chemistry at Ripon College, where I graduated Cum Laude.
My postgraduate training includes a residency in internal medicine, followed by serving as chief resident at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Colorado, where I received the Excellence in Research Award in 2023 and held leadership roles advising students and residents.
Currently, I am completing a clinical fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology, dedicated to advancing oncology treatments grounded in scientific excellence.
Research and Publications
My research experience spans molecular oncology, epidemiology, and health equity. I have contributed to studies on:
- Molecular alterations in esophageal and pancreatic cancers
- HPV vaccination barriers in Uganda
- Spatial analyses of cervical cancer incidence
These works reflect my dedication to translational, impactful science.
I have also authored reviews on PRMT5 inhibitors and B7-H3 inhibitors in oncology clinical trials, and my recent publications include studies on:
- Multicentric Castleman disease
- Cryoglobulinemia in the setting of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
- Cancer risk mapping in low-resource settings
Leadership and Entrepreneurship
Beyond clinical care and research, I serve as co-founder and Medical Director of VB Health, a company committed to producing high-quality supplements with limited, effective ingredients that undergo rigorous testing. Our goal is to support wellness through products rooted in integrity and scientific validation.
Philosophy of Care
My approach to medicine blends cutting-edge science with a holistic philosophy, addressing the physical, mental, and emotional facets of health. I believe optimal patient outcomes stem from understanding each individual as a whole—not just their illness, but their life context.
Whether discussing the newest therapies or everyday wellness strategies, I aim to provide clear, evidence-based insights that are accessible to all.
