The Center for Cancer and Immunology Research researches, diagnoses, and treats childhood cancers as well as infectious diseases and immune system disorders. To help young patients, Center researchers use advanced methods that combine cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, and experimental therapeutics.
Faculty
Interim Center Director, Mendel Tuchman, MD, leads a collaborative research team.
The Center is organized into four areas of study which contain many cross-functional research programs:
Disorders Studied
Researchers conduct basic and clinical research into some of childhood’s most
well-known cancer and immunologic disorders, including:
Core Facilities
Several of this center's programs provide services and support to every faculty member conducting research at Children’s National Medical Center.
Translational Research Programs
The Center for Cancer and Immunology Research also is home to many research programs that combine basic, clinical, and/or community research.
Research Studies
Investigators at the Center for Cancer and Immunology are actively recruiting volunteers for research studies on specific disorders, including:
- Blood and marrow transplantation
- Blood disorders (hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and others)
- Oncological disorders (all types of cancer from leukemias and lymphomas to brain tumors and others)
To find a research study, go to www.ClinicalTrials.gov, then submit an e-mail to begin the process of determining if your child qualifies for a research study. A researcher from Children's Research Institute will respond to your query within two business days.
