Our goal is to take a comprehensive approach to tackling gynecologic oncology challenges across the African diaspora and to leverage on opportunities present at our different institutions. 

The Transatlantic Gynecologic Cancer Research Consortium (TAGCReC) was established to facilitate gynecologic cancer research across the nations that represent African diaspora people. TAGCReC’s primary mission is to take a comprehensive approach to gynecologic oncology challenges across this population and to leverage opportunities present at our different institutions. The consortium’s focus areas include cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship, with transnational education opportunities. We have used this platform to interrogate race, genetics, environment, and health care practices to address health and health disparities in Africa and across the diaspora. Currently, the consortium is comprised of members in Nigeria, the USA, and the Caribbean; members include gynecologists with an interest in gynecologic oncology, board certified gynecologic oncologists, general and gynecologic pathologists, molecular geneticists, epidemiologists, and behavioral and basic scientists.
