Cancer Cell Biology

癌症细胞生物学（CCB）项目由来自23个系的62名成员组成。自上一个资助周期以来，癌症细胞生物学的研究基础几乎翻了一番，从15,046,494美元增加到22,406,120美元，其中3,643,399美元来自NCI。在上一次资助期间，癌症细胞生物学项目成员发表了558篇论文，其中3.9%为项目内论文，24.2%为项目间论文。

The Cancer Cell Biology (CCB) Program is comprised of 62 members from 23 departments. Since the past funding cycle the research base of the Cancer Cell Biology has nearly doubled from $15,046,494 to $22,406,120 total annual direct research support, of which $3,643,399 is from the NCI. Over this last grant period, there were 558 publications of Cancer Cell Biology Program members, of which 3.9% are intraprogrammatic and 24.2% are inter-programmatic . Members of the Cancer Cell Biology program are nationally recognized experts in a spectrum of disciplines unified by the goal of furthering our understanding of the process of oncogenesis at the cellular and molecular level, In order to develop new strategies for the treatment and prevention of cancer. Program investigators have advanced cancer biology in the areas of deregulated growth, proliferation, and cell death pathways: chromatin remodeling; cancer stem cells; embryonic signaling pathways; and tumor invasion programs. The bench-based research carried out by our program members has led to translational studies and clinical trials using novel, targeted approaches to cancer therapy which may afford significant advantages over currently available therapeutics.
