From studying cancer disparities, breast cancer, brain cancer, skin cancer and more, these studies are advancing cancer care through a wide range of clinical, translational and community-based studies.
The work focuses on improving early detection, refining and personalizing treatments, developing new therapies and understanding the biological drivers of cancer. Many projects also explore innovative technologies—such as biomarkers, genetic tools, wearable monitoring and real-world data—to better predict outcomes, reduce treatment burden and expand access to care, ultimately aiming to improve survival and quality of life for cancer patients.
