The Cancer Biology Program is a new basic research group in the Division of Experimental Hematology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Research in this group investigate how molecular, cell-cell and cell-matrix changes result in cancer, and develop pre-clinical and clinical tests based on novel laboratory based findings. Collaborative work involving clinicians and laboratory scientists from many divisions allows access to normal and cancerous human tissues and fosters the development of clinical trials.
Diseases that the faculty are currently investigating include intestinal neoplasia, medulloblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, neurofibromatosis, and squamous cell carcinoma .
