The WVU Cancer Institute’s research programs combine activities of investigators who have common scientific interests and participate in competitively funded research to help chart the future of cancer care and detection.

These programs are highly interactive and lead to a more efficient exchange of information, advanced experimental techniques, and innovative ideas that enhance the individual productivity of scientists and encourage collaborations and joint publications.

With an emphasis on forward thinking and team building to leverage collective strengths, the cooperative environment of these research programs invites thought-provoking discussions around current research efforts and enables researchers to explore new approaches based on feedback. Our research members are encouraged to move across disease teams as desired, and no primary team affiliation is required. The emphasis in all venues is on collaboration to bring positive outcomes for patients.
