The Purdue University Center for Cancer Research<\/a>, led by Dr. Timothy Ratliff, Purdue Veterinary Medicine distinguished professor of comparative pathobiology, is partnering with the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research<\/a> to improve the use of biostatistics, predictive modeling, and data science in cancer research.  Dr. Ratliff, who serves as Purdue’s Robert Wallace Miller Director of the Center for Cancer Research, said the partnership will include the appointment and exchange of scientific staff, sabbatical opportunities, student training, and postdoctoral fellowships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Purdue University Center for Cancer Research is\nhonored to enter into a partnership with the Frederick National Laboratory to\nenhance and accelerate educational and research activities in the field of\ncomputational biology and predictive modeling,” Dr. Ratliff said.\n“Working with the outstanding investigators at Frederick National\nLaboratory will benefit our students and faculty and will enable us to have a\ngreater impact on the field.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purdue and Frederick National Laboratory also will conduct\ncooperative research in protein crystallization in microgravity.  Dr. Ethan Dmitrovsky, director of the\nFrederick National Laboratory and president of Leidos Biomedical Research Inc.,\nsaid the agreement brings together two leaders in cancer research.  “The Purdue University Center for Cancer\nResearch conducts world-class basic research that has led to significant\nadvances in the field,” he said. “This mutually beneficial\npartnership will allow some of the best minds in cancer research to come\ntogether to accelerate research discoveries that will ultimately benefit\npatients.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Purdue Center for Cancer Research conducts basic\nresearch on the cellular causes and potential treatment of cancers. The center\nis one of only seven National Cancer Institute-designate basic research cancer\ncenters in the nation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
