Uncovering hidden dangers: How environmental research can prevent cancer | Justin Colacino's mission

"Did you know nearly 40% of people will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, with increasing numbers among the young?" asks Justin Colacino, an environmental health researcher at the University of Michigan School of Public Health who uncovers how hidden dangers in the world around us can cause cancer.

In this video, Colacino explores why the incidence of cancer is rising in younger populations and highlights the critical importance of identifying environmental risks. He explains how his research aims to pinpoint the root causes of cancer, leveraging powerful data and tools to prevent harmful cellular changes before they start.

"Our work goes beyond the lab, influencing guidelines and policies to protect both you and your loved ones from cancer. It's about making a real-world impact on the health and safety of everyone.”
