2010/2011 Report
[1]What do thumbprints, matchmaking, thread, dominoes, flowers & tricycles have in common? Through a series of creative metaphors, the NYU Cancer Institute 2010/2011 Report illustrates how our collaborative research programs are unified in support of a common goal: eliminating the burden of cancer. In addition to highlighting some of the peer-reviewed publications of our expert physician scientists, the report outlines six stories of discovery including:
- Thumbprints: The microbiome’s role in the development of certain cancers
- Matchmaking: A searchable chemical biology network designed to support the drug development process
- Thread: New insights into how epigenetics can influence the development of new treatments
- Dominoes: Innovations in symptom and pain management
- Flowers: Caring for the caregiver
- Tricycles: Survivorship

2009 Report
[2]New York City...a global population...a densely urban environment...an ideal opportunity to take on cancer from the outside in. Today, the NYU Cancer Institute is building a powerful hub of environmental and population scientists to make the most of this singular urban laboratory. Already known for our work in community outreach and environmental science, we are increasing our focus on understanding cancer disparities in ethnically diverse populations and unlocking the secrets of environmental oncogenesis. Serving and learning from all of New York's patients, we are advancing cancer research and care.
