Steven R. Goodman, PhD, Vice President for Research

Research at Upstate is guided by four disease- based pillars that stimulate cross-departmental collaboration and inter- disciplinary research. Our researchers are based in departments, but their work can also be thought of in the context of the pillars or in the foundational sciences.

Cancer

All research at Upstate—basic, translational, and clinical—is broadly grouped in four areas of concentration: Disorders of the Nervous System; Diabetes, Metabolic Disorders, and Cardiovascular Diseases; Cancer; Infectious Diseases.

Students and faculty contribute to significant, well-funded cancer research at the basic and clinical levels. These research projects reflect a single, goal-oriented approach that cuts across academic departments.

In addition to basic science investigations in such areas as tumor cell invasion, oncogenes, immunotherapy and genetic inheritance, our scientists and physicians participate in national cancer trials.
