Research project funded by NIH/NCI to study biological aging and immune system changes as factors in racial disparities in MGUS and multiple myeloma among African ancestry individuals.
Description
This project aims to investigate the role of accelerated biological aging and immunosenescence in racial disparities related to multiple myeloma, focusing on individuals of African ancestry. The research involves clinical assessments, immune microenvironment analysis, tumor genomics, and mechanistic mouse models. The funding is provided by the NIH/NCI under grant PA-25-301.
