Cancer Program

Corrie Painter, associate director of operations and scientific outreach at the Ó³»­´«Ã½ and one of the creators of The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project, and Eliezer Van Allen, an oncologist at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and an associate member at Ó³»­´«Ã½, discuss patient engagement, which is critical for advancing our understanding of both common and rare cancers and empowering people to get in the driver's seat of clinical research.

Ó³»­´«Ã½ cancer research includes efforts to decipher the genetic and molecular landscape of a wide range of cancer and immune cells as well as equally systematic genome-wide approaches to interrogate the function of cancer genes and the vulnerabilities of tumors. In partnership with colleagues within academia and industry, Ó³»­´«Ã½ cancer researchers develop breakthrough technologies to drive discoveries of new drug targets and potential therapies, and generate systematic strategies for predicting therapeutic combinations to combat resistance.
