Interdisciplinary investigation puts CU Cancer Center at the leading edge of cancer research
At the University of Colorado Cancer Center, our basic science researchers work to uncover the biological mechanisms that cause cancer. These discoveries form the foundation for new approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Collaboration is key. Our scientists partner with clinical researchers to translate laboratory findings into innovative drugs, therapies, and techniques for patient care. This bench-to-bedside model accelerates progress and ensures patients benefit from the latest breakthroughs.
CU Cancer Center offers access to more than 250 active clinical trials, giving patients opportunities to receive cutting-edge treatments and participate in cancer research studies. These trials test new therapies developed through our research programs, providing hope for those facing challenging diagnoses.
Our investigators lead interdisciplinary research across four specialized programs, fostering collaboration and innovation to tackle cancer from every angle. Together, these efforts drive promising new strategies to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer, shaping the future of oncology.
