From bench to bedside, our physicians, medical physicists, cancer biologists, and trainees in the Department of Human Oncology are accelerating the pace of translating cancer research and new technologies to clinical practice. Our research efforts are founded on the common desire to improve cure rates and reduce treatment toxicities. Our multidisciplinary effort (basic, translational and clinical research) employs molecular and cellular oncology research, medical imaging, radiation physics, bioinformatics and biostatistics. Faculty test new radiation techniques and new drug-radiation combinations for the treatment of cancer patients and are leading clinical trials and clinical outcome studies funded by the National Institutes of Health, American Cancer Society, National Science Foundation and other national funding agencies.
In direct partnership with the UW Carbone Cancer Center, we are changing the face of cancer therapy by fostering innovative laboratory discoveries and translating these to clinical practice through research. We develop and optimize the use of our world-class technologies to achieve highest levels of treatment precision and accuracy that maximizes benefit and minimizes side effects for patients. Developed in Wisconsin, we look to ensure that these approaches are accessible to patients globally.
