Welcome to the Carson Lab
Carson Research Group
The mission of the Carson Research Group (CRG) is to help all people live longer, healthier lives. Our goal is to reduce racial health disparities by establishing innovative bio-behavioral approaches for obesity treatment and chronic disease prevention. The Carson Research Group also supports the mentoring and career development of scholars and staff members who are committed to health disparities research, health equity, and increasing diversity and inclusion in the research environment.
The Carson Research Group (CRG), led by Dr. Tiffany Carson, is part of the Division of Population Science, Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior at Moffitt Cancer Center. The CRG conducts research that focuses on cancer prevention and reducing racial disparities in obesity and cancer.
