Exploring the Role of Race, Class, and Socioeconomics in the Underserved and the Underrepresented

We are currently preparing our 2022 course schedule for Exploring Cancer (formerly, The Biology of Cancer). More details will be available on this page in late spring of 2022. For immediate assistance, please email info@exploringcancer.org.

Behind cardiovascular disease, Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of deaths in the United States. What causes Cancer? Why have we not cured Cancer yet? What are some of the myths that surround Cancer care? Why do people of color seem to develop and die from Cancer at rates much higher than the majority of the population?

If you are interested in learning the answers to one or more of these questions, you should consider viewing these engaging and stimulating, webinar series taught by cancer biologists, physicians, public health experts, and other cancer specialists from NCCU, UNC-Chapel Hill, and NC A&T. These hour-long webinars were held during the Fall 2021 semester.
