Cancer Biology and Immunology Program (CBIP)

Cancer DNA sample

CBIP Specific Aims

  • Elucidate the basic mechanisms underlying aberrant DNA damage and repair in cancer and determine therapeutic vulnerabilities
  • Discover and integrate signal transduction events regulating tumor-immune cell interactions to expand our understanding of tumor evolution, the immune suppressive tumor microenvironment, and therapy resistance
  • Determine the causes and consequences of epigenetic dysregulation in cancer and identify novel epigenetic targets for anti-cancer therapy
CBIP Specific Aims

CBIP Future Directions

  • Release program-specific RFAs with a focus on collaborative team science, thus promoting collaborations within the program
  • Facilitate connections with CTOP and CCHE members to create translational research opportunities, enhancing the bench-to-bedside-to-community
  • Submit Cancer Biology T32 renewal application in September 2024
