Functional Exploration of African Colorectal Cancer Patients Using Personalised <i>Drosophila</i> Avatars

2026-03-30

Abstract excerpt

Colorectal cancer across sub-Saharan Africa presents a growing global health burden, with increasing cases and mortality linked to late diagnosis, limited healthcare access and lack of effective treatments. African patients typically present with aggressive disease marked by distinct genomic signatures, indicating the need for targeted treatment approaches. We integrated genetic modelling, phenotypic scoring, imag...
