Discovery Science Division leadership

Research within the Division of Discovery Science at the Moffitt Cancer Center involves work that addresses the genome, cells, and biology of cancers, as well as the surrounding tissues, which can impact the nature of the cancer and its potential to spread. Discovery science focuses on understanding the mechanisms and causes of cancer at a biological and molecular level. While new knowledge may not be immediately translatable to new treatments and cures, over time, the fundamental discoveries of discovery science provide the foundation for better treatments and cures.

Drug Discovery

The Department of Drug Discovery is interdisciplinary and composed of faculty members with expertise in molecular and cellular biology, structural biology, chemistry and pharmacology.

Immunology

The Department of Immunology faculty members focus on the interrogation of immune regulation in cancer with the goal of developing novel immune strategies to combat cancer.

Metabolism and Physiology

The Department of Metabolism and Physiology focuses on the characterization of cancer-related processes in their native state through the use of non-invasive techniques.

Molecular Oncology

The Department of Molecular Oncology faculty members share common interests in understanding signal transduction pathways from the cell surface to the nucleus.

Tumor Microenvironment and Metastasis

The Department of Tumor Microenvironment and Metastasis Department conducts cutting-edge research on the molecular mechanisms underlying the growth and metastasis of tumors.
