All Means All: Using the All of Us dataset to study lung cancer genetic markers in diverse populations

This event is part of Love Data Week 2025. Dr. Khadijah A. Mitchell (Fox Chase Cancer Center-Temple Health) will discuss her research project using the All of Us dataset to study lung cancer genetic markers in diverse population (https://allofus.nih.gov/protecting-data-and-privacy/research-projects-all-us-data), and demonstrate how to use the All of Us dashboards. All of Us is a NIH project to build a dataset of patient information that reflects the diversity of the USA to improve health equity, advance precision medicine, and address issues with a 'one size fits all' approach to health sciences research.

Dr. Khadijah A. Mitchell is an Assistant Professor in the Cancer Prevention and Control Program (Fox Chase Cancer Center-Temple Health) and Assistant Professor (Secondary Appointment) in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (Temple University College of Public Health). Her research laboratory uses multi-omic approaches to address biological, environmental, and behavioral causes of cancer health disparities for precision prevention and precision medicine purposes. Dr. Mitchell and collaborators have identified micro-geographic contributors to lung cancer incidence, and shown clinically-relevant genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic differences exist between lung and kidney cancers from African Americans and European Americans. Collectively, her work has implications for improved cancer prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment outcomes in racial and ethnic minorities. Dr. Mitchell’s research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Communications, Nature Cancer, and Journal of Thoracic Oncology, and her work has been funded by the US Department of Defense.

Previously, Dr. Mitchell was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Cancer Institute. She concurrently earned her PhD in Human Genetics and Molecular Biology from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a Graduate Certificate in Health Disparities and Health Inequality from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Mitchell is a nationally sought-after speaker, best-selling author, and the recipient of many honors and awards, including the Peter C.S. d’Aubermont MD Endowed Scholar of Health and Life Sciences and NIH Fellows Award for Research Excellence. Her subject matter expertise has been tapped to serve on scientific and public health advisory boards across academia, state and federal government, and global industry to promote health equity.
