How CCRTD Is Advancing Prostate Cancer Research at Clark Atlanta University

Prostate cancer research at Clark Atlanta University is advancing treatment and advancing health equity. In this Black History Month special, we spotlight the Center for Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development (CCRTD) and its Executive Director, Dr. Jaideep Chaudhary.

In this episode of If You Are My Brothers Podcast, host Reggie Hicks explores how CCRTD is advancing prostate cancer research, addressing health disparities, improving drug development, and engaging the community to drive better outcomes for African American men. Prostate cancer disproportionately impacts Black men.

CCRTD’s mission focuses on:

• Understanding cancer metastasis
• Improving treatment strategies
• Using AI and big data in cancer research
• Training the next generation of cancer scientists
• Community-driven prostate cancer awareness

Dr. Chaudhary explains the drug development pipeline, the importance of PSA screening, and how early detection reduces mortality by nearly 50%.

This Black History Month edition, we honor institutions and leaders shaping the future of cancer research and health equity.
