CaRE2@UF is so proud to announce the launch of ProTalks: a community outreach project headed by one of our CaRE2 Citizen Scientist alumna, and CaRE2@UF Community Mini Grant awardee, Mrs. Lynn Jones Turpin! ProTALKS seeks to address prostate cancer research and health disparities in the BIPOC community of Duval County. There is something for every member of the community to engage, learn and take steps to improve prostate health outcomes!
RESEARCH
Researchers at the three institutions will undertake innovative translational research projects with potentially high impact for reducing disparities, including:
- Studying the genomics and biological underpinnings of prostate and pancreatic cancer, which have high mortality rates in African-Americans and Latinos, to better understand the biology driving higher incidence and death rates
- Reducing differences in chemotherapy treatment by using the molecular profiles of patients to predict their sensitivity to certain drugs
- Creating a repository of biological specimens from African-American and Latino patients to help with this and future studies
education
An important element of the new program is training the next generation of researchers in cancer health disparities. Through sponsorship by Digipreneurship University we are embracing broadband education to expand the CaRE² initiative. Leaders will train about 125 Black and Latino investigators, from students to early-career scientists and underrepresented minority students to provide insights for best serving the needs of diverse populations to help reduce the burden of cancer.
We look forward to partnering with you to reduce cancer disparities nationally and globally.
