About this Class

Speaker: Luis G. Carvajal-Carmona, Ph.D. Professor and Auburn Community Cancer Endowed Chair in Basic Science Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine UC Davis Health School of Medicine Dr. Luis Carvajal-Carmona is Professor and Auburn Community Cancer Endowed Chair in Basic Science in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at UC Davis Health School of Medicine. He also is the leader of the Cancer Center’s Latinos United for Cancer Health Advancement (LUCHA) initiative and the co-director Community Engagement Program at the Clinical and Translational Science Center. His research group at the Carvajal-Carmona Lab is interested in the study of cancer genetic susceptibility. They use genetic, genomic, and functional approaches to identify novel cancer-causing gene and mutations in human populations, to investigate the function of genetic variation associated with disease, and to carry out pre-clinical studies aimed at developing better molecularly guided therapies. In this webinar, Dr. Carvajal-Carmona will be presenting on genetics, genomics, and precision medicine of gastric cancer in Latinos
