The Cell Signaling and Growth Control Research Program is comprised of a multi-disciplinary group of investigators who study molecular mechanisms of growth regulation and/or perturbation that are relevant to cancer. The Vermont Cancer Center has assembled a critical mass of signaling researchers with diverse and complementary expertise and interests. The goals of the program are to provide a university-wide information resource on cell signaling, to promote technology development, promote collaborative research initiatives and foster interactions between basic and clinical cancer researchers. The activities of the program, which are designed to achieve these goals, include a weekly seminar series, an annual program retreat, and translational research initiatives facilitated by regular group meetings. The Cancer Center has strengthened this basic research program by major investments in recruitment and new instrumentation that has already had a significant impact on productivity of individual investigators. Two new VCC Shared Resources, including a Flow Cytometry Facility and a proposed Molecular Methods Shared Resource, will further support and strengthen this diverse research program. The success of the program is documented by the increased level of extramural funding, individual and collaborative publications and exciting new initiatives in translational research.

细胞信号和生长控制研究项目由一个多学科的研究小组组成，他们研究与癌症相关的生长调节和/或扰动的分子机制。佛蒙特癌症中心聚集了一批具有不同专业知识和兴趣互补的信号研究人员。该计划的目标是提供全校范围内的细胞信号信息资源，促进技术发展，促进合作研究倡议，促进基础和临床癌症研究人员之间的互动。该计划的活动旨在实现这些目标，包括每周的系列研讨会，每年的计划撤退，以及由定期小组会议促进的转化研究计划。癌症中心通过在招聘和新仪器方面的重大投资加强了这一基础研究项目，这已经对个体研究人员的生产力产生了重大影响。两个新的VCC共享资源，包括流式细胞仪设备和拟议的分子方法共享资源，将进一步支持和加强这一多样化的研究计划。该项目的成功体现在校外资助水平的提高、个人和合作出版物的发表以及在转化研究方面令人兴奋的新举措。
