The Center for Translational Cancer Research

WELCOME TO THE CENTER FOR TRANSLATIONAL CANCER RESEARCH

NCI Community Career Centers ProgramFebruary 1, 2006 marked the launch of the Center for Translational Cancer Research (CTCR) in Delaware. The CTCR represents a formal alliance of the University of Delaware, the Christiana Care Helen F. Graham Cancer Center, the Nemours/AI duPont Hospital for Children and the Delaware Biotechnology Institute.

What is Translational Cancer Research?

Discovery to Recovery:
Translational Cancer Research transforms the latest discoveries in the laboratory into innovative new treatments for cancer patients.

Cancer is a major health problem that affects thousands of Delawareans. Before the creation of the CTCR, no coordinated network existed in the State of Delaware to unite local cancer researchers with clinicians with a common focus on developing new cancer treatments or identifying new cancer biomarkers for population screening, prevention and risk management. The CTCR has created a center “without walls” to support clinical and basic scientific efforts in translational cancer research within the State of Delaware. We hope you will explore our site!
