Dr. Angell is Associate Medical Director of the USC Thyroid Center and is recognized as a clinical expert in thyroid nodule management, thyroid cancer, as well as the spectrum of thyroid hormone dysfunction. He performs thyroid nodule evaluation and fine-needle aspiration biopsy at offices at Keck Hospital of USC and Pasadena.
After finishing his clinical and research training at the Keck School of Medicine and the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, Dr. Angell was appointed instructor in medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in performing patient care, teaching, and research. In 2018, Dr. Angell joined the faculty at the Keck School of Medicine.
His clinical and research interests are related to the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases. He has been nationally known for research into thyroid nodule evaluation and molecular testing of thyroid nodules. He has received funding for his research predicting thyroid cancer in patients with thyroid nodules from the Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association (American Thyroid Association Research Grant). He has published articles in JAMA Surgery, Thyroid, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, and others, including original research and invited reviews. He is on the editorial board of Thyroid, VideoEndocrinology, and Frontiers in Endocrinology.
