About James Graham Brown Cancer Center:
The James Graham Brown Cancer Center is a key component of the University of Louisville’s Health Sciences Center located in the heart of the Louisville, Kentucky. As an academic medical center, our atmosphere encourages collaboration between our oncology physicians and our cancer researchers. Treatment plans for our patients are fueled by our commitment to translational research. With the Cancer Center’s emphasis on bringing the benefits of the latest research from the lab to the bedside as efficiently as possible, patients at the center are often among the first in the world to have access to new therapies through leading-edge clinical trials. Our patients also benefit from a team concept of patient care. The multidisciplinary teams are made up of specialized physicians, nurses and other care providers. Each patient is treated according to a unique plan customized for the specific type of cancer, its stage, the patient’s lifestyle needs and overall health.
The James Graham Brown Cancer Center’s goal of translational research is to facilitate the rapid transfer of promising scientific discoveries from the laboratory to strike the implementation at the patient’s bedside. This is also the goal of the National Institutes of Health and has been identified as the most important area of medical research for the next decade. The James Graham Brown Cancer Center’s strategic plan calls for the development of strong translational research, primarily focused on drug discovery and development. We have one of the most robust pipelines of anti-cancer drugs of any cancer center in the nation.
