Finding innovative answers through interdisciplinary research  

The mission of the CCIS is to educate physicians and trainees and the public in order to bring discoveries in basic science to bear on medical disciplines ranging from cancer to diabetes and from arthritis to infectious disease, bridging the spectrum of research from the genetic and molecular level to clinical trials, sharing the information and resources in order to speed the translation of new therapies from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside.
