Research project focused on understanding and addressing gastric cancer disparities in Latinos through epigenomic and functional genomic studies.
Description
This project aims to characterize the epigenome of genomically stable gastric tumors in Latinos, investigate tumorigenesis using Latino gastric organoids, and identify vulnerabilities through a loss of function screen. The study will leverage epigenomic and functional genomic approaches to advance understanding and therapeutic development for gastric cancer disparities in Latinos.
