Cancer Therapeutics

The overarching goal of the Cancer Therapeutics Program is to foster collaboration across scientific and clinical disciplines in order to gain deeper insights into the underlying causes of cancer and to develop more effective diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic approaches to cancer. The program brings together translational and clinical researchers, chemists, biologists and biostatisticians who have a focus on projects that will have substantial clinical impact on solid tumors.
