Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology

The Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology (CMCO) fosters and mentors physician-scientists as they advance their laboratory-based research programs to bridge fundamental cancer biology with clinical investigation for the translation of basic discoveries into better therapeutics, treatments or diagnosis. Physician-scientist faculty in the CMCO hold primary appointments in medical oncology or hematology at Yale Cancer Center (YCC), and participate in all divisional activities, interacting with other members of YCC. In addition, the CMCO members are part of one or more YCC Clinical Research Teams (CRTs) and YCC Research Programs relevant to their laboratory research and clinical interests, promoting a collaborative environment for the better understanding of cancer biology. The CMCO strives to promote a culture of diversity and inclusivity for all its members, focusing on career development and innovative approaches to science.
