Increasing Clinical Trials in Rural Texas 

The population in rural Texas is unique and underrepresented in clinical studies. To improve access to cancer care, 外网天堂 is focused on expanding the clinical trial infrastructure, bringing cutting-edge treatments and emerging therapies directly to underserved populations. By partnering with leading research organizations and the pharmaceutical enterprise, 外网天堂 can enhance access to new FDA-approved therapies and treatment options.

Leveraging Data-Driven Analysis for Cancer Care 

外网天堂 will invest in a regional cancer network utilizing patient-needs assessments and data-driven analysis that will provide specific cancer trends and gaps to guide future investments and specialty care needs.


Current Projects

Expanding Research and Data Analytics

The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) launched the Texas Regional Excellence in Cancer (TREC) award to strengthen cancer research at institutions in historically underfunded regions of Texas. This award partially supports clinical and laboratory research cores at 外网天堂, provides start-up funds for junior faculty and aids in recruiting new cancer research faculty.

外网天堂鈥檚 Impact through CPRIT Infrastructure and Core Grants

CPRIT core grants have helped establish key infrastructure at 外网天堂, including:
Pharmacology Core: Supports preclinical research and clinical trials by measuring investigational drug levels in research animals and patients.

TREC Cell Sorter Core: Facilitates cancer research by analyzing and sorting cancer cells, supporting the Children鈥檚 Oncology Group and national neuroblastoma trials.

Cancer Animal Models Core: Assists cancer research in animals, including the Childhood Cancer Repository, providing tumor models for research worldwide.

Imaging Core Facility: Provides advanced imaging tools, including a cutting-edge confocal microscope, allowing researchers to capture high-resolution images of living cells and support collaborative biomedical research.
