UMGCC has developed an interactive, multidisciplinary research program -- consisting of both clinical and basic research investigators -- focusing on the rapid transfer of knowledge from the laboratory to the clinic. Our goal is to take advantage of discoveries in basic cancer biology in conjunction with clinical research to:

Develop and apply innovative cancer treatment and prevention strategies
Describe the molecular mechanisms underlying specific clinical phenotypes and behaviors
Apply these discoveries and strategies to the Maryland community and beyond, with a specific focus on cancer disparities

Research at UMGCC takes place within the following program areas:
