Expanding the Reach of Cancer Research
Strengthening the link between advances in cancer research and the community we serve is important. We work to address high rates of cancer in Chicagoans by implementing new cancer prevention and control studies and improving screening rates. We train the next generation of cancer researchers and clinicians by providing robust educational and professional development opportunities for learners at all levels.
Finding new ways to detect cancer earlier and to prevent it altogether is a large part of our mission. Our experts are committed to reducing cancer’s burden in Chicago’s highly socioeconomically diverse, urban community.
We offer programs for high school, undergraduate and medical students interested in pursuing cancer research.
UChicago offers more than 100 graduate medical education programs, including several focused on cancer care and research.
