PSOC

Mission

To catalyze and nucleate engineering-based oncology research to gain new insight into the physical mechanisms of cancer and speed the development of new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies that improve patient outcomes.

Vision

To launch, through successful conduct of the PSOC grant, an engineering-based oncology research center that brings together diverse disciplines engaged in a common research enterprise - unraveling the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cancer and designing new clinical tools that improve patient outcomes. Funded through federal research programs, philanthropy, and UMN support, the Center will foster groundbreaking research and incubate commercialization of new devices, diagnostics, and therapies that flow from Center supported discoveries. The Center will intentionally foster the development of a positive, collaborative, and innovative culture.
