STORY
20 Is the Answer in
Your Genes?
How much of the health gap between Black and White Americans can researchers explain through differences in genetic make up? And what impact does the environment have on
our health?
As a MacArthur Fellow, Dr. Olufunmilayo Olopade won $500,000 in unrestricted support for five years. Olopade continues to lead research efforts to understand the role our genes and environment play in the development and treatment of breast cancer in women at home and abroad.
