Description
CRR Membership Directory
The Cell Response and Regulation (CRR) Program conducts basic and translational research on the fundamental cellular mechanisms that are deregulated in cancer cells. This research provides new insight into cancer pathways and potential biomarkers.
The CRR Program brings together scientists with shared research interests in two main thematic areas:
- Cell turnover in cancer, including control of cell division and cell death and their dysregulation in cancer, as well as stem cell biology and how it informs us about tumor-initiating cells
- Tumor microenvironment, particularly cellular processes that initiate, promote, and maintain cancer metastasis, as well as the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in the tumor microenvironment
Several members use animal models to characterize cell and tumor behavior in organisms. The diverse expertise in techniques and model systems offers great opportunity for synergistic projects and stimulating scientific exchange. This extends across Cancer Center Programs and is further promoted by the interface with disease focus groups.
The Cell Response and Regulation Program draws its members from many academic units on campus and provides a forum for interdepartmental communication among individuals who share a common interest in understanding the cellular basis of cancer.
The Cell Response Program currently receives approximately $6.5 million per year of direct research support from the NCI, other NIH institutes, the American Cancer Society and other funding agencies. Cancer-focused articles published between 2003 and 2009 total 202, 31% being interprogrammatic and 11% being intraprogrammatic publications. |
