Initiatives
From collaborations with clinicians to working groups exploring exciting scientific frontiers, the Cancer Center at Illinois consistently launches initiatives that unite engineers, clinicians, and scientists to develop innovative technologies for earlier detection, more precise treatments, and improved patient outcomes.
BEAT Cancer Research Initiative
The Cancer Center at Illinois and the OSF HealthCare Cancer Institute are joining forces on the Breakthrough Engineering and Advanced Treatment of (BEAT) Cancer Research Initiative, a unique opportunity for collaborative research teams to drive innovative cancer care solutions and leverage cutting-edge technologies within the scientific and medical communities.
Cancer Research Advocacy Group
The Cancer Research Advocacy Group provides a vital perspective in the fight against cancer, offering input into fundamental research, clinical trials, outreach, education, and sharing information with cancer survivors, researchers, and clinicians. This work creates bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench feedback, putting patient perspectives at the heart of everything our researchers do.
Working Groups
CCIL working groups foster interdisciplinary collaboration, identify new research partnerships, and develop new cancer research directions. Working groups form through the initiative of CCIL researchers who believe in the power of team science to facilitate and accelerate solutions to fight cancer.
