 My name is Avinash Sharma. I am a graduate of the University of Auckland Medical School. I'm currently based in New York working at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre. I have been privileged to be involved in a number of projects out in Nigeria as part of their Global Cancer Disparities program. I've trained as a surgeon and have divided my time over the last six months in Nigeria between operating, teaching and also research. So on the colorectal cancer side we have been involved at looking at modifiable risk factors which has been quite an interesting project. We've looked at some of the factors that are associated with cancer, so diet, nutrition, exercise, as well as for the first time getting stool samples from members of the community to look at the microbiome which is the unique bacterial footprint I guess that everyone has in their gut to see what the differences are between normal controls and cases of cancer. So that's been quite a challenge but also one that's been quite rewarding and that with those stool samples we've also been able to offer treatment for parasitic disease and screen for other things. But quite an exercise in working with community leaders and the kings and the communities and things like that. So it's been a real eye-opener and we've been very, very fortunate to have wonderful support from people in the community as well.
