In this multidisciplinary research environment, candidates will have access to numerous additional core facilities, the opportunity to interact with scientists and clinicians from many programs and departments, and the ability to conduct patient-oriented translational research in collaboration with clinicians.
The mission of Roswell Park is to provide total care to cancer patients, conduct research into the cause, treatment, and prevention of cancer, and to educate the public and the next generation of researchers who study and treat cancer. Over its long history, Roswell Park has made fundamental contributions to reducing the cancer burden and has successfully maintained an exemplary leadership role in setting national standards for cancer care, research and education. Notably, Roswell Park has been continuously funded as an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center for over 40 years, since the inception of this prestigious program. Roswell Park has recently opened a new outpatient Clinical Sciences Center and is renovating existing education and research space to support its future growth and expansion.
