New research published today in JAMA Oncology reports how two separate DNA changes appear to predict aggressive Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵhood leukemias when they occur in combination. This study illuminates genetic understanding of...
A new study published today in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, reports findings that may change the understanding of how synovial sarcoma develops and...
Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute have found critical new insights into how cells defend against melanoma. In a report published in Nature Communications, the team describes how an enzyme called...
Huntsman Cancer Institute recognizes new and renewed endowed chairs, along with the distinguished professorship of faculty. Endowed chairs play an important role in creating a partnership between donors and researchers...
Brad Cairns, PhD, focuses on determining how a cell normally regulates processes important to cancer. But he's not only a scientist—he also loves mountain biking and jazz music.
When cancer researchers from different disciplines work together, they gain new insights into how cancer begins and how it can be treated. HCI is committed to providing an atmosphere where...
Utah scientists have discovered new functions of a key cellular machine that regulates gene packaging and is mutated in 20% of human cancers. The study was published in print today...
We are a small group of dedicated researchers who are working to give hope to patients by improving treatment and care for people with breast and ovarian cancer.
Two researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ of Utah received awards from the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to fund innovative Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵhood cancer research.
You may not see us during a visit to Huntsman Cancer Institute. But rest assured, we are working hard to learn more about sarcoma in the research building next door.
The National Cancer Institute has renewed the designation of Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ of Utah as a Comprehensive Cancer Center, the highest federal rank possible for a...
Don Ayer, PhD, studies how cells sense and respond to different nutrients that feed tumors. He believes the best scientists are the ones who can think outside the box.
By better understanding cancer in its earliest stages—and a deeper knowledge of healthy cell behavior—we shed light on the precursors of cancer and what allows a cancer to grow. Read...
The hormone estrogen plays many critical roles in men and women, in both healthy tissues and in cancer. In breast and gynecologic cancers, estrogen sends signals to tumors instructing the...
