The Cancer Cell Biology (CCB) Program focuses on cell death (apoptosis), cell division (cell-cycle control), and cellular differentiation. The CCB Program performs high-quality basic research that provides mechanistic insights into cancer causation. These studies may help identify new molecular targets that could be used in the development of novel diagnostics or therapeutics.
The CCB Program is devoted to basic and translational studies that impact patient care; it also provides a strong basic science foundation for the research initiatives of clinical colleagues in the DF/HCC disease-based programs.
The Program has four specific aims:
