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.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
