🌐 Welcome to @TheCORGILab!

#CORGILab (Collaborative Oncology Research Group International) is a global oncology research collaborative founded by @EChrisDee, bringing together students, trainees, clinicians, and scientists from around the world to advance cancer research, strengthen health systems, and improve cancer outcomes.

Our work is built on three core principles:

🧬 Rigorous science
🤝 Mentorship & collaboration
🎗 Equitable cancer outcomes

We believe that meaningful research happens when diverse perspectives come together across disciplines, career stages, and countries. By fostering collaboration and mentorship, we aim to develop the next generation of investigators while producing research that improves cancer care worldwide.

Follow @TheCORGILab for publications, conference presentations, trainee/member achievements, and opportunities to collaborate.

Collaboration has no borders 🌎🌍🌏

Among registered phase 2 and phase 3 #CervicalCancer trials, representation was lower in high-burden countries and in low- and middle-income countries vs high-income countries.

So excited to share my first publication with @MSKCancerCenter and our incredible international oncology research collaborative, @TheCORGILab! Our paper on global disparities in cervical cancer clinical trials is now published in @JAMANetworkOpen. 🎉

[CORGI Lab @TheCORGILab]

📄 Our study on national cancer-system characteristics and global pan-cancer outcomes is in @JAMAOnc.

Across 185 countries, universal health coverage and GDP per capita independently predicted better cancer survival. @EChrisDee @JamesFanWu @JAMA_current @JAMANetwork

Revisiting a foundational @TheCORGILab study — the one that launched our health-systems research, published in @JAMAOnc. Across 185 countries: which national health-system features track with better cancer survival?

Two rose above the rest — universal health coverage and national income.

By @EChrisDee, @JamesFanWu & colleagues · @JAMANetwork · @JAMA_current. Grateful for our co-authors @erin_feliciano @fredtingmd @jonas_willmann @francesvho @BhavJain_ @Urvish_Jain1 @jennych7799 @fabiomoraesmd @imrtlee @IyengarPuneeth @DrPaulNguyen! Here's how 👇

The takeaway: the growing global cancer burden isn't only about biology or screening — it's about systems. Universal coverage, health investment, a strong workforce, radiotherapy & pathology capacity, and gender equity are levers we can actually pull.

This was our first health-systems paper — and the foundation for much of what @TheCORGILab has built since. 6/

Another new @TheCORGILab publication in @JCOGO_ASCO!

Led by amazing student Asher Shin, and mentored by @erin_feliciano and @EChrisDee!

New @TheCORGILab study, out today in @JAMANetworkOpen: cervical cancer is one of the world's most inequitable cancers — and so are the clinical trials meant to fight it.

Led by @snehaahuja (a college sophomore!), mentored by Dr. @luisajacomina, in collaboration with Dr. Jainar, Dr. @saramoufarrij1, and Dr. @EChrisDee.

Here's what we found 👇

📄 Our full study on global disparities in cervical cancer clinical trials is open access in @JAMANetworkOpen.

Trials cluster in wealthy, low-burden countries; the highest-burden nations are left out.
