Center for Translational Cancer Research
In Delaware, the common desire for the creation of a translational cancer research effort among faculty and clinicians recruited to the State over the past decade has in essence created a clinical and translational cancer effort “without walls”. The thriving effort in translational cancer research involves individuals from 4 institutions - University of Delaware, A.I. duPont Hospital for Children/Nemours, Christiana Care Health System/Helen F. Graham Cancer Center, and the Delaware Biotechnology Institute - who share a common vision to improve cancer research and delivery. Our mission is to establish a pipeline of translational cancer researchers and clinicians by developing a program that starts at the undergraduate level and continues to provide training throughout the graduate and post-graduate levels. We also seek to build research partnerships constituting teams of clinicians, biologists and engineers, chemists and computer scientists to attack cancer related problems.
