Research
Hundreds of doctors, scientists, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduate students and technicians work in more than 70 research laboratories in the University of Arizona Cancer Center. Armed with test tubes, cancer cells, computers and tumor models, they search for the missing pieces of the cancer puzzle in their efforts to prevent and cure cancer.
Bringing promising new therapies from the laboratory to the bedside is a high priority. The clinician scientists of the University of Arizona Cancer Center are engaged in more than 200 clinical trials, investigating a broad spectrum of new diagnostic, prevention and treatment strategies.
