Agus's field of expertise is advanced cancer.[7] He has developed new cancer treatments with the aid of private foundations, as well as national agencies including the National Cancer Institute.[6] Agus has also served as chair of the Global Agenda Council on Genetics for the World Economic Forum,[12] and presently co-chairs the Global Health Security Consortium.[13]
As director of the Spielberg Family Center for Applied Proteomics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, he led a multidisciplinary team of researchers dedicated to the development and use of proteomic technologies to guide doctors in making health-care decisions tailored to individual needs. The center grew out of earlier clinical projects at Cedars-Sinai, where Agus served as an attending physician in oncology, which observed striking differences between the aggressiveness of prostate cancer in certain patients and their ability to respond to treatment.[21][22]
Agus also formerly served as Director of the Louis Warschaw Prostate Cancer Center, and as an attending physician in the Department of Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.[20] He was also an associate professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Agus's research has focused on the use of technology to model cancer and on new treatments for cancer.[28][29] He has published many scientific articles.[30]
He has founded and co-founded several companies including Oncology.com,[37] Navigenics (a personalized medicine company),[29] Applied Proteomics (together with Danny Hillis),[29] Sensei (wellness and lifestyle company, together with Larry Ellison),[38] Sensei Agriculture (an agriculture data and technology company together with Larry Ellison),[38] and Project Ronin (a cancer clinical intelligence company together with Larry Ellison).[39]
In 2021, Agus and the Ellison Institute launched Global Health Security Consortium (GHSC), a joint global effort with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change and Sir John Bell and a team of scientists at the University of Oxford, focused on finding ways to track and treat COVID-19 and prevent future pandemics.[40][41] GHSC is co-chaired by Agus with Sirs Tony Blair and John Bell. The group launched the OneShot campaign in October 2022 to build global digital health infrastructure and promote life course disease prevention programs.[42]
Agus' first book, The End of Illness, was published in 2012 [48] is a New York Times best seller and international best seller and was the subject of a PBS series.[49][9] His books A Short Guide to a Long Life[10] and The Lucky Years: How to Thrive in the Brave New World of Health[50] are also New York Times and international bestsellers.[51]
Agus occasionally collaborated with co-writer Kristen Loberg on the recommendation of his publisher Simon & Schuster.[52] On March 6, 2023, it was reported that the passages Loberg contributed to Agus' book The Book of Animal Secrets: Nature's Lessons for a Long and Happy Life contained heavy plagiarism.[53] Loberg issued a public apology and Agus stated that she misled him during the writing process by claiming to use antiplagiarism software.[54] Agus reviewed earlier works co-written by Loberg and informed Simon & Schuster that she had previously engaged in plagiarism.[55] Other publishers and physicians who had worked with Loberg, including Penguin Random House, Sanjay Gupta, and David Perlmutter, subsequently discovered further plagiarism by her.[54]
The Book of Animal Secrets was initially set to be released on March 17, 2023, but sales were postponed at Agus' expense so that he could rewrite the book.[56] It is scheduled for release on December 5, 2023.[57]

Perjeta clinical development
Agus and Mark Sliwkowski published the first studies with an antibody called 2C4 (pertuzumab or Perjeta), targeting the Her-2 molecule in breast and other cancers. This was the first drug that inhibited dimerization of receptors as its mechanism of action.[68] The mechanistic paper led to a phase 1 clinical trial led by Agus and further clinical studies in advanced breast cancer and other cancers.[69][70] In 2012, the FDA gave the first of several approvals of Perjeta for combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Perjeta was the first FDA approved drug that worked by inhibiting dimerization of receptors.[71][72]
