Cancer Therapeutics
Research in this area uses the knowledge acquired from the study of cancer formation to develop novel therapeutics. These research teams investigate diverse molecular targets to discover various anticancer chemicals and test those candidate drugs in animal models with the goal of establishing clinical trials. Research approaches include signaling pathway investigation, medicinal chemistry, natural product manipulation, pharmacology, high-throughput screening technology for small-molecule discovery, biomarker-driven clinical-trial design, pathology, and biostatistical evaluation. Specific subsets of research in this area include drug discovery, imaging, and developmental therapeutics.
