National Cancer Institute (NCI) reposted this
We are thrilled to start a new chapter! Today, we’re announcing the reorganization and renaming of our Center. The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) is now the Center for Cancer Health Equity (CCHE). You'll see our new name here on LinkedIn soon. This is more than just a name change. The new name represents the lens through which we view our work. Our efforts are not only to shine a light on disparities but, rather, are geared toward leveling these disparities while simultaneously achieving health equity. To learn more about guiding factors that led to this exciting new chapter, our mission, four branches, and more, read our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/edddjMCi

Investigators at the NCI Center for Cancer Research have uncovered the causes and consequences of the overproduction and uneven distribution of CENP-A, a protein that is important for chromosomal stability. Excess amounts of this protein may play a role in cells that become cancerous. https://go.nih.gov/xbqmBvt
