Representing 3 Schools and 18 Departments across Brown University, members of the Legorreta Cancer Center stem from a wide range of disciplines to provide a complex understanding of cancer. We connect researchers through working groups, programs and research activities to foster a well-rounded cancer-focused community.

The combined expertise of the Legorreta Cancer Center provides the foundation for the development of new knowledge that will translate into improved diagnosis, prevention and treatment, and create a definable impact in cancer care.
