Emerging Priorities in Minority Health and Health Equity Research with Dr. Chanita Hughes Halbert
March 25 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
The Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Applied Studies (IDEAS) Initiative and the USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health (IIGH) invite you to a virtual seminar featuring our very own Dr. Chanita Hughes Halbert, Interim Executive Vice Chair, Vice Chair for Research and Professor of Population and Public Health Sciences at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Dr. Halbert is a nationally recognized leader in cancer prevention and minority health research. She has dedicated her career to reducing the disparities in cancer outcomes that affect patients from underrepresented communities, with a primary focus on African American communities. Among her many achievements, she has identified sociocultural, psychological, genetic and environmental determinants of cancer health disparities and translates this information into interventions to improve health equity among racially and ethnically diverse populations, as well as other medically underserved groups. For her many contributions, Hughes-Halbert was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2017.
Please help us spread the word to interested colleagues, staff, and students.
