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.
The research and innovations developed at the Georgia Cancer Center ultimately influence the global network of cancer care. Our team fights for far more than just Georgians. The learnings achieved through the care of local patients has wide-reaching implications for creating tomorrow’s standard of cancer care. Through facilitating first-in-the-nation trials and growing a depth of understanding only available through a multidisciplinary approach, the Cancer Center team is equipped to deliver treatment advancements that will be applied in facilities across the world.
Our research approach supports important National Cancer Institute goal of 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.

A study conducted by a team of researchers from the Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University tested inhalant CBD in the treatment of lung cancer and whether it could inhibit tumors from growing or spreading.
A new $2.3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute is giving the Georgia Cancer Center the opportunity to understand how those cancer cells resist primary treatment and propose new treatment options that may improve patient survival.
The discovery may help explain why sometimes promising immunotherapies designed to help the immune system kill cancer don’t.
The study is the first to identify increased prevalence of disease-causing genetic variants in females with unexplained infertility.
Research at the Georgia Cancer Center’s M. Bert Storey Research Building focuses on the most promising pathways for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Several of our researchers are involved with investigator-initiated clinical trials, transitioning their research into the clinic.
Cancer Immunology, Inflammation and Tolerance
The principal goals of the program are to elucidate molecular pathways and cellular processes active in tumor microenvironments in order to develop, characterize, and apply immunological approaches to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of premalignant and malignant diseases.
Cancer Prevention, Control and Population Health
Each member of the Cancer Prevention, Control & Population Health Program reaches out to community organizations, schools and other civic groups to promote the importance of prevention, early detection and regular screenings and particularly in addressing, can health disparities and health equity.
Molecular Oncology and Biomarkers
The overall goals of this program are to understand the fundamental cellular and molecular processes that contribute to cancer development and progression. The research interests of the program can be divided into three broad themes: Cancer Genetics, Epigenetics, and Chaperone Biology.
The Georgia Cancer Center supports shared research resources and facilities providing important support to members of the Cancer Center and their collaborators. The various resources offer access to state-of-the-art technology and computational support at an affordable cost.
The Georgia Cancer Center provides dedicated support to its researchers for the writing and submission of extramural and intramural grant applications.
