"An urban oncology center dedicated to understanding cancer disparities"

Español  
   


 
Basic

Our multidisciplinary team includes scientists and clinicians who are using the latest technology to identify the genes and proteins that cause cancer and are developing and offering novel and state-of-the-art therapeutic strategies for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

  • Molecular Oncology and Cellular Oncology - unraveling the complex molecular pathways that disrupt the balance of cell growth and cell death in cancer.
  • Oncogenomics and oncoproteomics - studying networks of genes and proteins that are disrupted in cancer using state-of-the-art and emerging genomic and proteomic technologies and databases.
  • Oncogenetics - developing transgenic animal models for human cancer to better understand what causes cancer and develop and test new therapeutic strategies.
  • Experimental Therapeutics - exploring novel strategies for controlling cancer growth and the spread of cancer.
  • Tumor Cell Biology - understanding how a tumor grows and spreads to other sites.
  • Genomic Integrity - discovering why and how the genetic material of developing tumor cells becomes damaged and unstable, focusing on the importance of DNA repair in cancer susceptibility.
