Director Of Heath Institutes
It is not a secret that Agus has had a long and varied career, leading a team of experts for the research and revisions for cancer at the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC.
Between 2009 and 2001, he worked at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, overseeing a multidisciplinary team of researchers that use proteomic technologies to guide medical professionals to trailer health-related decisions for their patients.
Initially, he was nothing but a figure in the onology department, but the clinic outgrew its prestige after finding the aggressiveness of prostate cancer.
Author
A little-known fact about Agus is that he has dished his knowledge to writing.
In 2012, he published his first book, The End of Illness, which immediately rose the ranks to become a New York Times best seller. After acquiring international fame, it became a subject of a Public Broadcasting Service series, encouraging him to study more literature.
Next, he authored A Short Guide to a Long Journey in January 2014, talking about the rules everyone should follow to live a long, healthy life. After two years, he wrote his last and most recent book, The Lucky Years: How to Thrive in the Brave New World of Health, which cemented his name on the New York Times bestsellers list for the third time.
Academia
Physician David Agnus has decided to devote himself to academia as he has accepted a position at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Around 2009, he became a professor of medicine and engineering, becoming the CEO and Founding Director of the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine.
Not only that, but he is also the director of Cente for Applied Molecular Medicine. He has also operated at Cornell University Medical Center as its assistant professor.
Entrepreneur
David Agnus has never strayed away from his interest in medicine and oncology, establishing several companies wishing for a better and disease-free world.
His entrepreneurial tendencies date back to 1998 when he founded Oncoloy.com. The need to help others forced him to use the budding popularity of the internet to create the largest cancer resource and community online.
He was a mere space enthusiast when he caught the science bug at a young age. It did not take long for him to find ways of integrating technology into the fight against cancer by co-founding Navigenics, a company providing people with their individual genetic information to take preventive measures against the disease that poses a risk.
Although he stopped the ventures in 2001 and 2006, his quest to face the conditions headfirst did not dwindle, founding Applied Proteomic, which gets credited to the creation of The SimpliPro Colon, a groundbreaking colorectal wellness blood test.
Public Appearances
Docter Agus saw his speaking abilities come into play when he got invited to give a TedTalk in February 2010. His research on game-changing medical initiatives and desire to educate the next generation about science and medicine made him a keynote speaker. His half-hour speech turned him into an overnight sensation, as he even got calls from Google and CBS News.

But it is not his first time entering a documentary as he appeared in the 2006 film Who Needs Sleep?
