Housed in the Integrated Sciences Complex, the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy (CPCT) is a collaborative venture between the University of Massachusetts Boston and the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC). It is also the home of the Genomics Core.
The CPCT research team, which includes faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students, helps investigators and clinicians analyze samples, identify genetic variants contributing to disease risk, and reveal complex mechanisms involved in human disease.
