Research that delivers.
About us
Since 1978, the Purdue University Institute for Cancer Research has been a National Cancer Institute-designated basic research cancer center. Only seven institutions in the United States have earned this title. Being a basic research center means our work focuses on investigating cancers where they begin – at the cellular level – to uncover the cause of, and cure for, one of the most devastating killers of our time. Doctors and scientists throughout the world use our discoveries to develop methods, medicines and medical devices to save and enhance patient lives. OUR MISSION The Purdue University Institute for Cancer Research brings together the best minds from within Purdue University and beyond to study cancers where they start — inside the cell. Using the combined expertise of scientists from disciplines as varied as engineering and veterinary medicine, biology, and chemistry, the Institute for Cancer Research promotes discovery into how cancers develop, progress and respond to treatment. Our work leads to the advancement of new medicines, early detection and diagnostic methods, more effective treatments, and highly efficient drug delivery systems.

With support from the American Cancer Society - Indiana, Purdue Institute for Cancer Research member and assistant professor in Purdue Biological Sciences Brittany Allen-Petersen is persistently working to deepen the world's understanding of pancreatic cancer biology in order to identify new solutions. #Purdue | #Cancer | #Research | Purdue University College of Science
What if we could starve cancer cells into submission? 🔬 That’s the bold vision Dr. Brittany Allen-Petersen, PhD, is pursuing in her pancreatic cancer research at Purdue Institute for Cancer Research, thanks to support from our research grants! Dr. Allen-Petersen’s lab is exploring how to cut off a crucial nutrient pathway cancer cells depend on to survive. Inspired by a personal loss, she’s dedicated to finding new strategies to help patients beat this devastating disease. With each discovery, she’s bringing us closer to a world where cancer cells don’t stand a chance. 💪
