FEATURED CENTER OR PROJECT

 
Northwestern University

Northwestern University PS-OC
The Chicago Region-Physical Science Oncology Center (CR-PSOC) is organized around the conceptual framework that addresses the spatio-temporal organization of chromatin and information transfer in cancer. This organizing framework integrates the strengths of chemistry, genetics, and physics to address chromatin dynamics in cancer. Through the use of shared model systems Center investigators are able to integrate data from across projects to develop a new conceptual understanding of the mechanisms underlying physical rearrangement of chromatin in cancer and how that controls gene expression.

Physical Science-Oncology Network

In 2015 the National Cancer Institute continued the Physical Sciences-Oncology initiative by building a collaborative network of Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PS-OCs) and Physical Sciences Oncology Projects (PS-OPs).
