Melissa Davis, Ph.D., associate professor of cell and developmental biology in surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Genome Center, is July's guest speaker for the Department of Pathology's Research Seminar Series.

She will present "The Influence of African Ancestry in Breast Cancer Tumor Biology" at noon Thursday, July 21, in the Strada Patient Care Center conference room.

Her research interests include the intersection of race and ancestry and the influence of immunological differences in tumor biology, and the differences in tumor immune responses associated with African ancestry and therapeutic implications of these differences.
