Cancer Research Program

HudsonAlpha researchers are experts at understanding the genetic contributors behind many types of cancer, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, and prostate cancer.

By using cutting-edge genomic technologies, our scientists work to identify the genetic mechanisms behind chemoresistant and metastatic cancers. These discoveries can help shed light on many other types of cancers beyond those studied at HudsonAlpha.

Through our research, we strive to bring health, healing, and hope to millions of patients around the world.

“Using genomic technologies, we can untangle the genetic reasons behind treatment-resistant cancers using an unbiased approach. Equipped with those discoveries, we can better understand how patients will respond to existing treatments and identify targets for new drugs that could improve response and increase patient survival.”Sara Cooper, PhD, HudsonAlpha Faculty Investigator
