Organization profile
The Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis research program of Penn State Cancer Institute investigates the mechanisms of carcinogenesis induced by viruses, chemicals and environmental/dietary agents through basic research.
Novel carcinogenic mechanisms identified by the program are applied toward the prevention and treatment of human cancers in collaboration with the Cancer Control research program and the Experimental Therapeutics program.
