Research Programs at Upstate Cancer Center
This Research Program brings together researchers, clinicians, and experts in populational health to promote multidisciplinary studies on the different risk factors, preventive measures, causes, treatments, experiences, and sequelae of cancer. The Program promotes collaborations to study cancer incidence, risk factors, preventive measures, chemo- and radioprotection, clinical trials, clinical and patient-centered outcomes, patient monitoring, health communication, quality of life, social determinants, and health disparities.
Program on Cancer Genetics and Cell Biology
This Research Program brings together investigators with interests on the basic biology of cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. The Program supports research on cancer cell biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, genetics and immunology. The Program also promotes research on bioengineering and the development of materials and devices to study cancer cells.
Program on Cancer Therapeutics
This Research Program fosters research on novel therapeutic strategies and experimental treatments against cancer and cancer-associated diseases. The Program supports multidisciplinary research in medicinal chemistry, chemo-and radiotherapy, immunotherapies, toxicology, pre-clinical studies, investigational new drugs and devices, and early-stage clinical trials.
Program on Cancer Prevention, Survivorship, and Population Health
This Research Program brings together researchers, clinicians, and experts in populational health to promote multidisciplinary studies on the different causes, treatments, and sequelae of cancer. The Program promotes collaborations to study cancer incidence, risk factors, preventative measures, chemo- and radioprotection, clinical trials, patient monitoring, quality of life, and health disparities.
