Translational Research and Interventional Oncology Research Program
The Translational Research and Interventional Oncology Research Program translates advances in mechanism-based research into improved detection methods and therapies for cancer. With a primary focus on lung cancer, melanoma and leukemia/lymphoma, the program is dedicated to new discoveries in early detection and molecular oncology, and genotype-driven early phase trials for all cancer types.
RESEARCH THEMES
The Translational Research and Interventional Oncology program is dedicated to translating our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis and tumor progression into novel therapeutic strategies for cancer.
Early Phase Trials
Developing early phase clinical trials for therapies directed at genetic changes in tumors
Therapeutic Resistance
Investigating why some tumors become resistant to genetically targeted therapies and developing new strategies to prevent and overcome resistance
Immune & Cellular Therapy
Applying and enhancing immune strategies and cellular therapies for cancer
Early Detection
Developing and evaluating screening methods and biomarkers for early detection of lung cancers
Meet the Program Members
The Translational Research and Interventional Oncology Program is the largest of the cancer center's formal research programs, with more than 50 members representing a range of clinical and translational cancer research areas. The program is led by Madan Jagasia, M.B.B.S., Young Kim, M.D., Ph.D., and Christine Lovly, M.D., Ph.D.
