Collaborative Research to Enhance Understanding and Reduce the Burden of Disease

At Dana-Farber's Science Health Education (SHE) Center, we are committed to facilitating collaborative MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region-specific research that:

  • Identifies and strengthens research collaborations between Dana-Farber and MENA-region communities
  • Addresses key health gaps in MENA countries through cutting-edge research with the goal of better understanding and reducing the region's disease burden

The SHE Center provides opportunities for scientific exchange and networking. Connections can be initiated through our education and training programs or established based on investigator proposals.

Current Research Projects

  • Epidemiology of breast cancer in the MENA region
  • Epidemiology of pediatric oncology in the MENA region
  • Breast cancer awareness and screening
  • Cervical cancer screening
  • Impact of political instability in the MENA region on cancer prognosis
  • Establishment of cancer registries in the MENA region
  • Development of clinical trial protocols

Future research projects facilitated by the SHE Center can include a broad range of topics tailored to the needs of the MENA region.
