Cawley Center for Translational Cancer Research

Conducting cutting-edge research in solid tumors and population health

Julie & Charles Cawley

The Cawley Center for Translational Cancer Research (CTCR) is a 7,000-square-foot laboratory within the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Research Institute, one of only five wet lab spaces in a U.S. community cancer center. Scientists within the CTCR conduct cutting-edge research in solid tumors including breast, ovarian, lung and colon cancer as well as population health. 

The center houses a tissue procurement facility, organoid drug screening and histology cores as well as a state-of-the-art flow cytometry facility.  It also supports the education of University of Delaware undergraduate and graduate students and trains research fellows and early career physician scientists in translational cancer research.
