An award-winning speaker and researcher, Odisho studies how to incorporate novel technologies into established treatments to improve care for patients with kidney cancer. He also studies trends and patterns of delivering kidney cancer care. He has written extensively on his research findings.

Odisho earned his medical degree at UCSF, followed by a master of public health degree at the University of California, Berkeley.
