Early detection saves lives
CEDAR’s mission is profound: to detect and stop lethal cancers at the earliest stage. This ambitious goal requires a different approach to cancer research.
We are a diverse, innovative team of more than 180 researchers with expertise in a wide range of fields, from computational biology to nanotechnology to molecular biology. As part of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, we have access to top-flight technology and resources.
