Curing cancer through transdisciplinary research
At IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, we know that finding a cure depends on a broad range of innovative basic, clinical, and translational research.
From exploring molecular changes to developing targeted therapies to addressing global health disparities, our collaborative research centers are making protocol-defining discoveries that influence treatments and save lives.
Our multidisciplinary research collaborations make “bench-to-bedside” medicine happen—every patient, every day.
Brown Center for Immunotherapy
Transforming treatment for cancer and neurodegenerative disorders
At the Brown Center for Immunotherapy, Huda Salman, MD, leads a team determined to defeat cancer—and other debilitating conditions—using the body’s innate defenses.

Supportive Oncology Center of Excellence
In 2018, a gift from the Walter Cancer Foundation spurred the creation of a unique program that helps patients and their families manage the symptoms, pain and stress that accompany a cancer diagnosis.
Through the dedication of program director Jim Cleary, MD, we’re now a leader in the emerging field of supportive oncology—and we’re building on that success with even more collaborative research and patient advocacy.
Cancer Drug Discovery & Development Accelerator
Using emerging technologies/equipment and computational tools, this multidisciplinary team is expanding accessible molecular space and drug development capabilities.
