Pursuing a Life Without Cancer
In addition to basic and translational research in radiobiology, imaging, physics, and tumor immunology, our research team is working to put laboratory findings into clinical practice. The top accruing institution to NRG Oncology national clinical trials, the University of Pittsburgh is ranked among the country’s top five in federal research funding—over $6.5M allocated to our Department of Radiation Oncology researchers.
Our research broadens our understanding, shapes future tests and treatments, and delivers elevated care to patients.
Medical physics research has led the way in establishing new standards of care. Learn more about our areas of interest.
We develop and implement clinical trials for both common and rare cancers treated with a large portfolio of active trials.
