The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) is the state's first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. As
one of only 39 such centers nationwide, CINJ is dedicated to improving
the prevention, detection, treatment, and care of patients with cancer,
through the transformation of laboratory discoveries into clinical
practice. As a Center of Excellence of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School,
CINJ is committed to learning more about cancer and making its
discoveries available to the public to aid in disease prevention. At
CINJ, laboratory research is supported by more than $99 million
annually in cancer-related research grants. Research is being conducted
in areas including: oncogenes, epidemiology, chemical carcinogenesis,
tumor virology and immunology, drug development and resistance, the
relationship between cellular and genetic alterations and tumor
development, bioinformatics and cancer genomics. CINJ researchers hold
faculty positions at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, UMDNJ-School of Public Health, and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Basic
scientists, clinical researchers, and scientists who study cancer
prevention and control within the general population meet regularly to
exchange information and ensure that laboratory discoveries are refined
and applied to clinical care as quickly as possible, that clinical
observations reach laboratory researchers on a continuing basis, and
that prevention strategies are interwoven into all research programs.
