We study the genetic links between cancer mortality and ancestry, particularly African ancestry in the context of cancer disparities. Currently, we are investigating the distinct tumor immuno-phenotypes we have discovered in breast cancer, related to West African Sub-Saharan ancestry, due to altered regulation of inflammatory factors.
