$800,000 grant from the V Foundation to support Maria Abreu’s innovative research on colorectal cancer
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center shared on LinkedIn:
“We’re proud to announce that Dr. Maria Abreu has been awarded an $800,000 grant from the V Foundation to support her innovative research on colorectal cancer prevention and treatment. As a leading physician-scientist at Sylvester and director of the Crohn’s and Colitis Center at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Abreu is tackling the rise in colorectal cancer rates, a major cause of mortality among Americans under 50.
‘We are linking diet and lifestyle changes that result in dysbiosis, or an abnormal microbiome, to an increased risk of CRC,’ explained Dr. Abreu. ‘We are hoping to generate a variety of strategies to prevent and treat CRC.’ Learn about her ongoing cancer research.”
