Cancer research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory represents a comprehensive approach at the molecular level. Scientists here are deeply involved in the process of discovery, studying the structure and function of genes and proteins involved in cancer. Below is a list of research areas, each scientist's name followed by his or her specific focus. CSHL is one of 60 US institutions funded by the Cancer Centers Program of the NCI.
