Past Division of Cancer Biology Research Programs
DCB funded past research programs that supported emerging areas in cancer biology and advanced basic cancer research.
Past Programs from DCB
-
Alliance of Glycobiologists for Cancer Research
Determined the biological mechanisms that alter glycosylation to promote cancer and developed glycan-based markers that can be used for the early detection of cancer.
-
Barrett's Esophagus Translational Research Network (BETRNet)
Centralized and enhanced efforts to understand Barrett's esophagus (BE) and to prevent esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA).
-
Molecular Characterization of Screen-Detected Lesions (MCL)
Comprehensively characterized cellular and molecular components of early lesions.
-
New Approaches to Synthetic Lethality for Mutant KRAS-Dependent Cancer
Used next-generation approaches to identify new strategies to treat KRAS-driven cancers.
-
Patient-Derived Models of Cancer (PDMC) Program
Developed and characterized patient-derived models to investigate the biological mechanisms that drive cancer phenotype and response to perturbations.
-
Tumor Microenvironment Network (TMEN)
Advanced the understanding of a tumor’s interactions with its surrounding microenvironment.
