Dear Vijay
There is a good possibility you will have success in the EB1a category. You satisfy at least three criteria (2, 3 and 4 ) of USCIS EB1A requirements. In addition, you will have to show that you are one of the top researchers in the field. Since you have several citations, you should be able to claim sustained interest by research community in your work.
When you apply you can mention your work area as biology with applications to industry and cancer research.
