About Purdue Cancer Center:
The Purdue University Center for Cancer Research brings together the best minds from within Purdue University and beyond to study cancers where they start – inside the cell. Using the combined expertise of scientists from disciplines as varied as engineering and veterinary medicine, biology and chemistry, the Cancer Research Center discovers how cancers develop, progress and respond to treatment. Our work leads to the advancement of new medicines, diagnostic tools and treatment devices.
Purdue University has some of the best investigative minds in the world gathered in one place. More than 70 of these researchers, from 15 departments and six colleges across the university, share ideas, insights and findings to drive cancer research further than any single laboratory could do alone. Together, they focus on a shared goal: creating a world without cancer.
Faculty and scientists focus on one of the Cancer Research Center’s four interdisciplinary research groups.
• Cell Growth and Differentiation
• Chemical and Structural Biology
• Drug Delivery and Molecular Sensing
• Medicinal Chemistry
