The Radiation Cancer Biology and Oncology program provides research and education
related to carcinogenesis and chemoprevention, cancer risk assessment, cancer diagnosis, and
experimental therapeutics.
This multi-departmental and multi-college program involves both basic
cancer research as well as translational and clinical research.
Composed of faculty from the Departments of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences,
Clinical Sciences, and Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology within the College of
Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, this program also includes collaborating
faculty from the CSU College of Natural Sciences and College of Agricultural Sciences, and from
outside collaborating institutions.
Clinically related research is conducted at the Robert H. and Mary G. Flint Animal Cancer Center located at the James L. Voss
Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
The Flint Animal Cancer Center has
been a model in veterinary medicine for conducting cutting edge research and treatment of pet animals with naturally-occurring tumors to
advance the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in humans and animals.
