The Perlmutter Cancer Center takes a multidisciplinary approach to patient care and features a translational research program that brings together laboratory scientists and clinical researchers. The result: the latest advances in cancer care are delivered in a caring and compassionate setting.

We are a translational cancer center. Our scientists and other researchers share a goal of understanding how cancer develops at the molecular level, and how we can harness that knowledge to reduce the risk of cancer and to treat the disease. We constantly seek and create new opportunities for collaboration between investigators within our own walls, those located elsewhere in the New York University network of campuses (such as the Washington Square campus in lower Manhattan), and researchers at other institutions.
