I am deeply grateful to be recognized alongside such remarkable individuals who continue to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence within our community. #EbonyPower100

Concluding our Article Showcase is a featured selection from Melissa B. Davis, Senior Editor of Health Disparities and Outcomes Research: “Genetic Ancestry in PDXNet Models” aacrjournals.org/cancerresco… @MeliD32

This study presents a novel genetic ancestry pipeline & applies it to assess model diversity in the PDXNet, identifying a need to diversify models for basic biological & precision medicine research. Read the latest articles from this section: aacrjournals.org/hpor

Cancer is rising among younger people—and hitting Black communities harder. Dr. Melissa Davis of Morehouse School of Medicine explains how genetics & environment work together to shape risk. 🧬 #DrMelissaDavis #BlackHealthMatters #CancerAwareness #HealthEquity @MSMEDU @MeliD32

Explore how cancer research can prepare to unlock the full potential of data-driven innovation at the @CR_UK upcoming Data-driven cancer research conference in Edinburgh from 24-26 February 2026. @MeliD32, team lead of the SAMBAI team, will close the conference by chairing a session and delivering a keynote that examines how bias in data, algorithms and research design can limit access and impact for underrepresented groups. The session will explore strategies to make personalised medicine truly inclusive. Standard rate ticket registration closes 9 January 2026. 🎟️ Register now: cruk.ink/48aRoi0

Come, check out our work funded by @AHAScience #SFRN. Learn about role of ancestral gene ACKR1 and how that changes cancer risk in those with cardiovascular disease. Previously we had shown the role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. We were fortunate to collaborate with.@MeliD32 @JohnsHopkinsSPH #DrPlatz #AHA25 prior work by @OelsayedMD : ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1… and sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @OncoAlert @ICOSociety

Thanks to the advocacy of Black Alabamians and organizations like @allontheline, Black voters in Alabama will continue voting in fair congressional districts that allow them to elect candidates of their choice. This is a win for Alabama, and proof that progress is possible.

Ahead of the official start of today’s #NBCCSummit, @MSMEDU’s @MeliD32 led a workshop for Project LEAD graduates about racial disparities in breast cancer treatment. Learn about Project LEAD & how to become an informed advocate! nbcc.info/ProjectLEADInstitu…

This was a fabulous Saturday afternoon!! I was talking with the amazing group of patient advocacy LEADERS who are headed to Capitol Hil! As a researcher, quality time with survivors reminds me why the work is imperative. It inspires me to recommit to our mission! @NBCCStopBC

At the #NBCCSummit, @MSMEDU’s @MeliD32, @ColumbiaMSPH’s Rebecca Kehm & Adana Llanos, and NBCC advocate Valencia Robinson are exploring how social determinants of health, genetic ancestry, and tumor biology drive breast cancer disparities.

Great session. Thank you to @MeliD32, Rebecca Kehm, Adana Llanos, and Valencia Robinson for sharing this knowledge with us at the #NBCCSummit today! #StopBreastCancer

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH science.org/content/article/…

This Award has been named after former @CRUK_SI PhD student Prof Eric Aboagye who spoke about his work that focuses on the discovery and development of new methods for experimental and clinical cancer molecular imaging

💭We had an inspiring panel session where we were joined by patient advocates and researchers to discuss Equity in Cancer Care: The Role of Research, Advocacy, and Clinical Practice Thanks to Louise and @NadiaNasreddin for their great chairing!

Finally we heard from the winner of the inaugural Eric Aboagye Recognition Award - Prof Melissa B Davis!👏 Melissa's research focuses on identifying social, biological and environmental determinants of breast and prostate cancer outcomes in patients of African ancestry

You’re about to hear all kinds of things about a bill called the SAVE Act. Congressional Republicans are using it as a cover to take away voting rights from thousands of Americans—all while claiming it’s about stopping non-citizens from voting. 5 things to know 🧵👇🏻
