TICaRT faculty mentors provide expertise across the broad spectrum of cancer research. This wide range of faculty research interests and expertise provides our trainees with extensive training opportunities in the multiple facets of cancer.
Participating faculty are aligned in three research clusters: Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer, Translational Cancer Therapeutics and Cancer Population Sciences.
- Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer
These mentors are generally associated with basic science departments and their research is primarily focused on basic laboratory research and pre-clinical investigations that may require a translational endpoint and collaborations with other researchers to foster application of laboratory findings for public benefit.
- Translational Cancer Therapeutics
The mentors within this research cluster focus on interdisciplinary research that bridges basic laboratory-based pre-clinical investigations with clinical initiatives in cancer treatment and outcome management.
- Cancer Population Sciences
The mentors within this research cluster focus on population-based research, including epidemiology, primary prevention, early detection, health services, dissemination, palliation, and survivorship.
