The Georgia Cancer Center M. Bert Storey Research Building provides quality research
space to promote multidisciplinary collaborations and translational research, which
is essential to creating an environment that promotes innovation.
Our research approach supports important National Cancer Institute goals:
Ensuring every cancer patient has access to the newest and most innovative clinical
trials in the nation
- Clinicians and researchers work together to initiate new research protocols based
on the clinician’s interaction with the patient
- Each cancer patient receives personalized treatment through the interaction of the
multidisciplinary team of clinicians and allied health professionals
The main building houses the basic science teams with four floors of open concept-lab
space, shared resources and special equipment, such as flow cytometry, radiation therapy
research platforms and quantitative pathology imaging as well as administrative offices
and meeting spaces for seminars, lectures, training sessions and community-wide forums
on cancer-related topics.
The Collaborator Corridor is a new addition designed to facilitate communication and
collaboration between cancer researchers and clinicians, with a goal of promoting
translational research in order to develop the next generation of cancer diagnostics
and treatments.

Cancer Research News
A group of scientists at the Georgia Cancer Center of Augusta University recently reported that CAR T cells can stay active longer and mediate tumor killing more effectively when STAT5, a key signaling molecule, is kept in an active form within CAR T cells.
Aggressive colorectal cancers set up an interactive network of checkpoints to keep the immune system at bay, scientists report.
In the early part of the last century, blood transfusions occurred directly from the donor to patient. Virgil Sydenstricker found a better way, and it's still in use today.
There appears to be an unhealthy synergy between mental illness and prostate cancer, and researchers are working to dissect the relationship by first assembling the largest dataset ever of veterans with either condition or both.
