    Default job background
    Description
    Department Overview


    The primary mission of the Division of Oncological Sciences at OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute is to better understand cancer through basic, translational and population-based research that improves cancer prevention, detection and treatments for all.

    Our community of faculty, trainees and staff brings together scientists from a broad range of disciplines and works collaboratively to advance innovation and translate discoveries from the lab into meaningful impacts for cancer patients and our community.


    Centered on team science, our research is organized around four areas: Precision Systems Oncology, Cancer Data Science (includes Computational Biology, Bioinformatics and Biostatistics), Chemical Biology and Experimental Therapeutics, and Cancer Data Science.

    A foremost priority is to better understand cell plasticity by gaining the ability to experimentally decipher transitions from normal to cancer, cancer to metastasis and metastasis to resistance.

    Every Knight Cancer employee is expected to embody our guiding principles:


    • We act BOLDLY-Breakthroughs require pushing the boundaries of science, exploring new frontiers, and thinking differently
    • We SUPPORT each other-Respect leads to trust, which leads to excellence
    • We work as a CONNECTED team - We must leverage our collective brain power to conquer cancer because no one individual can do it alone
