Detection and therapy
The objective of this research is to develop and test improved methods for cancer detection and therapy and to conduct basic research pertinent to health issues faced by cancer survivors. Cancer Center investigators are developing and analyzing mouse models of cancer and other complex diseases with the goals of: A) targeting cancer stem cells; B) developing and testing immunotherapies; and C) identifying mechanisms contributing to the complications of cancer and adverse effects of cancer therapies. Basic research on bone biology, hematology, immunology, and reproductive biology inform these research topics. Informatics resources enable research into the genetic basis for individual variation to therapy.
