Building collaborations in genetics and cancer research
1/2- Feasibility study to build a collaboration in genetics and genomic cancer research
This study is working to improve our understanding of breast and prostate cancer, especially how it affects different groups of people, by training researchers at Hampton University, so that we can find better ways to treat and support patients like you.

What this research studies
This project aims to enhance research capabilities in genetics and genomics related to health disparities, particularly focusing on breast and prostate cancer. It involves a partnership between Hampton University and the Tisch Cancer Institute, which will provide training and educational resources to faculty at Hampton University. The initiative seeks to address cancer disparities by understanding population differences in cancer occurrence and outcomes through collaborative research efforts. Patients may benefit from improved understanding and treatment options as a result of this research.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include African American individuals and communities who are at higher risk for breast and prostate cancers.
Not a fit: Patients who do not identify as part of the African American population or those not affected by breast or prostate cancer may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better health outcomes and targeted treatments for populations affected by cancer disparities.
How similar studies have performed: Previous collaborations in cancer research have shown promise in addressing health disparities, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
