The Institute also collaborates with UAB’s world-renowned Comprehensive Cancer Center on a joint cancer research consortium pioneering efforts to diagnose, treat, and care for patients and families affected by cancer. The UAB-HudsonAlpha Cancer Consortium formalizes the two institutes’ fruitful collaborations dating back to 2010. The consortium’s goals are to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care through research, and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes among different demographic groups.
