It is with a profound sense of purpose that I extend a heartfelt welcome to the University of Chicago’s Center to Eliminate Cancer Inequity (CinEQUITY).

As the Director, I am honored to lead our collective efforts in addressing the critical challenges of cancer disparities. Our mission is resolute: to pave the way toward a future where every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, has equitable access to cancer prevention, treatment, and care.

We believe that collaboration is key. We unite researchers, community leaders, advocates, survivors, and partners from various sectors to forge innovative pathways toward eliminating barriers to health equity. Together, we seek to catalyze groundbreaking research, influence policies, and enact tangible changes in healthcare practices.

Our commitment goes beyond scientific inquiry. We recognize the urgency to address systemic inequities faced by marginalized groups in the Chicagoland area. We stand firm in our dedication to fostering an environment where every voice is valued, where diversity is not just celebrated but embraced, and where inclusive action is the cornerstone of our work.

As we embark on this transformative journey together, I invite you to share your unique perspectives, expertise, and passion. Your contributions will be instrumental in shaping our initiatives and driving meaningful change in the fight against cancer disparities.

Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey.
Warm regards,
Jasmin Tiro
Director, Center to Eliminate Cancer Inequity
