We are a translational cancer research laboratory focusing on the molecular mechanisms of progression of solid organ cancers with established racial disparities.

 

The lab is directed by Olorunseun Ogunwobi, a translational cancer biologist.

The Ogunwobi Laboratory seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the progression of solid organ cancers with known disparities in incidence, prevalence, or outcomes.

Our goal is to leverage our discoveries to develop novel clinical applications that improve cancer health outcomes
