Research Focus
Dr. Carlos Sanchez Moreno's lab focuses on understanding the racial disparities in prostate cancer, particularly how the disease affects African-American men compared to European-American men. The research investigates the roles of specific genes and metabolic pathways in the progression and metastasis of prostate cancer. By uncovering the biological mechanisms behind these health disparities, the lab aims to develop targeted therapies that could help reduce cancer mortality rates in diverse populations.
