Research
CINJ is a matrix style, basic, clinical and population research center as well as a consortium cancer center with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and Princeton University leveraging the science of the state's cancer researchers through collaboration. CINJ is sharply focused on fulfilling the cancer research needs of the most densely populated and industry rich state in our nation. The need is highlighted by the diverse and dense population of close to nine million people. CINJ research programs and core facilities enhance and support the cancer research of more than 160 members at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, UMDNJ-School of Public Health and UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, as well as Rutgers University, Princeton University, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Research is currently being conducted in areas including: population science, oncogenesis, tumor virology and immunology, autophagy, drug development and resistance, the relationship between cellular and genetic alterations and tumor development, cancer control and prevention, systems biology, bioinformatics, and cancer genomics. CINJ continues to expand its foundation of knowledge and the technical tools with which rapid advances can be made in understanding the mechanisms of cancer. Opportunities to manage the disease have increased and clinical research studies have yielded results that will have a profound effect in the prevention and treatment of many cancers.
