INFORMATION FOR

Clinical Research Teams

The Clinical Research Teams (CRTs) at Yale Cancer Center promote translational research at Smilow Cancer Hospital through scientific discovery, testing new discoveries in our clinics and, ultimately, turning new innovations into viable disease-specific therapeutics. The Yale Cancer Center CRT leaders and Research Program leaders collaborate to ensure all research opportunities are well coordinated and cooperative translational research is a priority for all Yale Cancer Center members.

  • Goals of the CRTs

    • To improve integration of our clinical and research programs
    • To increase the number of investigator initiated trials that have a Yale translational research component
    • To increase peer review of clinical projects
    • To enable basic scientists to become experts in clinical issues and paradigms
    • To build clinical/basic science teams to move toward team science and funding
