Mission

The Division of Oncology houses several research groups under the two main branches Canceromics and Molecular Oncology & Clinical Applications. Through a multidisciplinary approach, scientists, health care personnel, technologists, and informaticians endeavor to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and care of cancer patients. Our shared goals include:

• International-quality research and collaboration in studies of hereditary cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, urothelial cancer, sarcoma, lymphoma, and other malignancies
• Translational bridging from basic science and epidemiology to clinical application catalyzed by lab facilities joined to the clinic
• High-quality education and research training that prepares students for successful careers
• Continuous development of a scientific milieu in which researchers benefit from population-based registries, in-house biobanks linked to clinical data, and strategic investments in new technologies
• Recognition as an attractive and inspiring work environment characterized by curiosity, collaboration, and collegiality
