GLOBAL TEAM SCIENCE AWARD FOR UWI PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERT

In April 2023, an interdisciplinary group of researchers who worked collaboratively to address cancer and health disparities in patient populations of African descent received the prestigious American Association for Cancer Research Team Science Award for innovation and meritorious science.

Lecturer in Public Health at The Cave Hill Campus, Dr. Natalie Greaves, was a member of the winning African Caribbean Cancer Consortium Team (AC3).

The team was recognised for furthering the study of viral, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle risk factors for cancer in patient populations. These factors have demonstrated far- reaching implications for the improvement of cancer etiology, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in Black patient populations worldwide.
