Cameron assisted in the data collection and analysis of a four-year clinical study of participant experience of a dance class for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, hosted by the English National Ballet. Under the guidance of Dr. Sara Houston of the University of Roehampton, Cameron used a mixed method approach, involving clinical assessment and qualitative tools, to assess whether dance intervention improves participant stability, posture, general wellbeing and disease progression.
Cameron is an M.D. candidate at the University of California, San Francisco.

Previously, he completed his M.S. in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. There, his research focused on national health sciences education recommendations for transgender and LGB health topics. He is also currently the Student Researcher at Langley Porter Psychiatric.
