Biology Seminar: "Genetic Ancestry in Breast Cancer Disparities", Dr. Melissa B. Davis

Dr. Davis is an Assistant Professor (Interim) of the Department of Surgery and Scientific Director of the International Center for the Study of Breast Cancer Subtypes (ICSBCS) at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, NY. Dr. Davis will present findings emerging from her breast cancer research, where she has identified that an African-Ancestry allele, and the recently discovered tumor expression of a gene named DARC (ACKR1) is linked to the tumor-specific immune/inflammatory response.
