Our latest research! It is imperative that we identify the genetic risk alleles that are common in all populations. Justice in breast cancer prevention is more than access to screening, but also that screening tools are accurate for all women, regardless of race/ancestry.

Our most recent international collaboration with ICSBCS partners in Ethiopia at St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Hospital and in Ghana at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital helps to uncover the genetic risk of women across the African Diaspora, including African Americans.

Through generous National Cancer Institute @NCIGlobalHealth funding, we are offering our first Genomics Workshop (this Sunday) with lead computational biologists from WCM Englander Institute for Precision Medicine and NY Genome Center

We welcome our participants and panelists to Day 1 of the #ICSBCS21 5th Annual Symposium

The 14th AACR Conference on the Science and Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved starts at 10am ET today. #AACRdisp21 will run through Friday, Oct 8. Read more: bit.ly/3mr1aFa

In a recent proposal, our team planned an approach to change the culture of bias. Shifting focus from patients to providers. Perhaps to truly be transformative, we have to change the system's lens.

The same remains true…mammograms save lives and are safe!

It has been a GREAT #AACRdisp21 conference - where we connect as partners to address all disparities in cancer! Kudos to our scientific director, Melissa B Davis, PhD and her conference co-chairs and scientific committee for a well-rounded and impactful program!

In partnership with our Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital ICSBCS site in Kumasi, Ghana, we congratulate our Breast Cancer Nurses and staff on an exceptional #breastcancerawareness program! Global outreach and capacity building are key to end #breastcancer #disparities
