To create laboratories and support the collaborative research work of approximately 20 scientists who seek to translate laboratory findings into clinical investigations and applications that will improve treatment and care for patients afflicted with a range of cancers. These translational researchers, who maintain active membership in clinical departments, will more sharply focus their work on the development of novel approaches to detection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human cancer. This grant also endows the Emily Tow Jackson Chair in Oncology.
