Investigating how protein signaling affects stomach cancer development
This study is looking at how a specific protein in your stomach helps cells talk to each other during inflammation from H. pylori infection, with the goal of finding new ways to prevent or treat early changes that could lead to stomach cancer, especially for those who have had issues with H. pylori.
-
How stomach and bowel movement differ between men and women, including people with diabetes
This work looks at how estrogen and a receptor called GPER change stomach and colon movement in men, cycling women, and people with diabetes.
-
Building a diverse workforce in genomic research in rural Alabama
This project is all about creating a center at Tuskegee University to teach and train future scientists in genomics, especially those from different backgrounds, so they can help improve health in our communities through better understanding of genetics.
