About the UAB Cancer Center:
The Cancer Center has more than 300 faculty members. Some are basic researchers who work in laboratories. Others focus on “translational” research – in other words, they utilize laboratory research to develop new treatments for patients. Many Cancer Center members are “physician-scientists,” who work in both the laboratory and patient care settings.
The Cancer Center treats every type of cancer, including the “major” diseases (breast, ovarian, lung, etc.). Being a comprehensive center, we are able to offer specialists and treatments for both rare and common cancers that are often unavailable elsewhere.
The Cancer Center’s strengths include research involving tumor biology, virology/gene therapy, immunobiology and targeted immunotherapy. Clinical studies, which provide patients access to promising new drugs, are offered for almost every type of cancer. The Cancer Center also conducts numerous clinical studies of cancer prevention drugs and examines strategies for cancer prevention and control. The Center is funded by more than $100-million in federal and private funds, and is internationally recognized for its multidisciplinary collaborations.
