The GW Cancer Center, in partnership with the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS), provides a coordinated portfolio of shared resources that support innovative, multidisciplinary cancer research. These centralized resources are designed to accelerate discovery, strengthen collaboration, and extend the impact of research across the cancer continuum, from fundamental biology to clinical and population-based studies. By offering access to advanced technologies, specialized expertise, and responsive services, the shared resources enable investigators to pursue bold questions and develop solutions that improve cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
These shared resources are guided by a commitment to scientific rigor, accessibility, and efficient use of institutional investments. Resources are continuously evaluated and advanced to meet the evolving needs of investigators, with a strong emphasis on fostering collaboration across departments, schools, and disciplines. Located in the heart of Washington, DC, these shared capabilities also support partnerships with regional, national, and global stakeholders, expanding opportunities for translational research and public health impact.
Together, the GW Cancer Center and SMHS shared resources serve as a foundation for high-quality, competitive cancer research. By lowering barriers to specialized tools and expert knowledge, they empower investigators at all career stages, promote innovation, and support the Cancer Center’s mission to reduce the burden of cancer locally and worldwide.
