Congratulations to Dr. @RoussosTorres, co-leader of the Tumor Immunology and Microenvironment Program, who received fund from @theNCI to lead a complementary, multi-disciplinary research team to address interdisciplinary research questions at the nexus of cancer health disparities and cancer immunology with the goal to improve the intractable challenge of high mortality in minority populations with breast cancer by engaging this unique community of patients, their treating physicians, and researchers. Dr. Roussos Torres and her team will investigate differences in the suppressive immune cell composition of breast tumors from Hispanic/Latino patients compared to non-Hispanic White patients.  The integration of these research foci will change how we study and identify novel diagnostics and therapeutics for patients with breast cancer. Funding like this will facilitate collaboration between fields that have not traditionally worked hand in hand and provides an exciting platform for novel discovery.
