- Investigations of oncogenic viruses, microbial pathogens, or the microbiome, and their involvement with cellular processes and pathways within cancer cells and between cancer cells and normal cells
- Mechanisms driving cancer progression (including initiation, invasion, angiogenesis,?metastasis, and treatment resistance) and therapy-associated morbidities
- Cancer?biomarker?discovery and development
- Discovery, synthesis and delivery of cancer drugs and biologics
