Mission Statement and Branches
The philosophy of the Biometric Research Program is to have the staff combine two functions: (i) collaboration and consultation with the staff of the DCTD and intramural investigators of the NCI; and (ii) conduct self-initiated research on topics important to cancer research. Combining these functions has enabled the program to recruit and retain an expert staff and to provide the highest quality collaborations to DCTD and NCI scientists. It has also enabled the program to conduct research that has impacted the field and is motivated by key problems of current cancer research. The program does not have a grant, cooperative agreement or contract portfolio and does not sponsor extramural research.
