Basic Science

The diverse research at St. Jude ranges from discovery-focused and hypothesis-testing laboratory studies to clinical trials of specific agents, regimens, or therapeutic interventions. We continually seek to translate knowledge acquired through basic research into novel approaches for clinical diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, our clinical and laboratory-based investigators use the challenges encountered in the clinic to focus the efforts of our research.
