A significant area of interdisciplinary research at Georgia Tech is advancing cancer treatment, prevention and early detection. This work is conducted in a highly collaborative environment that permeates the institute. Scientists and engineers at Georgia Tech are working with clinicians to make discoveries in cancer research that transcend the boundaries of the laboratory bench to make a difference at the bedside.

Researchers conducting this work have been honored for their excellence and impact. Ten of researchers at Georgia Tech have been named Georgia Cancer Coalition Distinguished Cancer Scholars (including Yuhong Fan and Francesca Storici, Assistant Professors, School of Biology) and nine Georgia Cancer Coalition Cancer Research Awards (including presented to John McDonald, Professor, Associate Dean for Biology Program Development, CSO Ovarian Cancer Institute) have been presented to faculty mem¬bers investigating how to prevent, treat and cure cancer.
