$15 million grant awarded to reduce cancer disparities

Date:12/17/2008

de San Diego.

Training Future Leaders in Disparities Research:

The cancer disparities partnership will also seek to enhance cancer research and training at SDSU and increase the effectiveness of the Moores UCSD Cancer Center in research, training and career development related to minorities. More specifically, the grant is aimed at educating and training promising minority scientists in cancer research and increasing the number of faculty, scientists and students engaged in culturally relevant cancer research, community outreach and education.

"The real beauty of the partnership is that community and academic partners are essential contributors and also stand to benefit from the partnership work," Navarro said. "We will support projects that are meaningful to underserved communities and at the same time provide opportunities for scientists to become involved in research to eliminate cancer disparities."

Carethers said the partnership will provide exciting new possibilities in rapidly advancing fields of medical research.

"I think we will come to a day where we will analyze a tumor sample and blood and give diagnoses based on genetic makeup," said Carethers. "Researchers are just beginning to do molecular profiling of cancers and it will make a difference in treatment decisions."
