Researchers in the Gynecologic Oncology Program are exploring gynecologic cancers from a wide variety of scientific angles – from discoveries about the genes that cause tumors to develop and grow, to investigations of novel therapies including targeted drugs and immunotherapies, to studies of ways drugs can be combined to fight recurrent cancer.
Our team is working with basic scientists to look at new ways to fight gynecologic cancers through laboratory studies, creating laboratory models to study cancer resistance, and researching how to exploit DNA repair defects. Our team is focused on the development of new treatments for specific subtypes of gynecologic cancers, as well as methods for early detection of ovarian cancer.
