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.
