Research
The Center’s 130 member investigators advance cancer science in six program areas:
- Cancer Control
- Cancer Mechanisms
- Epidemiology and Chemoprevention
- Imaging and Radiobiology
- Immunology and Immunotherapy
- Molecular Therapeutics
More than 250 research projects, with funding of more than $68 million per year, are ongoing at the Center.
Research collaborations draw on faculty at Dartmouth College and its professional schools: Dartmouth Medical School, Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business. The Center’s researchers also collaborate with partner-researchers at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and the University of Vermont. In partnership with The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, the Center is developing cancer registries in breast and colon cancer, and is shaping new work in health services, outcomes, and comparative effectiveness research.
In addition, physicians and scientists at the Center collaborate to speed the translation of research advances into novel treatments for cancer patients through interdisciplinary clinical programs.
