Dr. Shailesh Singh's lab at Morehouse School of Medicine focuses on understanding why African Americans face higher rates and poorer outcomes in lung cancer compared to European Americans. The research combines social factors, like stress, with molecular mechanisms to uncover new ways to improve treatment and patient care. By studying the immune response and molecular biology of lung tumors, the lab aims to create targeted therapies and strategies to reduce health disparities in lung cancer.
