Award to University of California at Davis for developing and characterizing PDX models to study cancer health disparities and develop treatments for stomach and lung tumors, focusing on minority populations.
Description
This project involves a collaborative effort among six NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers to develop and characterize patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models focusing on cancer health disparities, particularly in minority populations. The research aims to understand biological processes involved in cancer disparities and to develop effective treatments for stomach and lung tumors.
