We aspire to eliminate cancer health disparities among Blacks and Latinos living in California and Florida, and contribute to paving the way to eliminate disparities in these populations across the US. Our long-term goals are:
There are stark cancer health disparities among African-Americans and Latinos in the US. For example, for all cancers combined, the death rate is 25 percent higher for African-Americans than for whites. Compared to Whites, Latinos have higher rates for stomach, cervical, and liver cancer, as well as worse survival for several cancers. Leaders of this triad collectively have expertise in translational genomics; molecular and cancer epidemiology; cancer health disparity; drug discovery; interventions to reduce disparities; and management of cancer pain and end-of-life issues. Together, we foster and fund innovative translational research across the University of Southern California, the University of Florida, and Florida A&M University.
A key goal of the center is to diversify the research workforce focused on cancer and health disparities. The center provides research-training opportunities for underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early-stage investigators (ESI) and will promote their individual research and career development.
We work together with our communities in California and Florida to disseminate information, learn about community needs, and engage community members in research, training, and outreach. We develop materials tailored for our unique Black and Latino communities in Florida and Southern California, provide bilingual community training sessions across the two coasts, train community advocates, and develop a new generation of Citizen Scientists.
