Rosario Lab Research Focus: Racial Disparities in Ovarian Cancer

In collaboration with the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center, Roswell Park is focusing on the role of metabolic reprogramming in ovarian cancer patients of different races, and how this impacts the immune milieu and survival outcomes. 

Publicly available data suggests there are alterations to many lipid pathways that differ between Non-Hispanic White women as compared to Black women with ovarian cancer. Dr. Rosario’s funded pilot work will provide novel insight into the biological etiology underlying racial disparities in ovarian cancer.
