About Medical Oncology Research Divisions

Basic research is organized around three divisions in Medical Oncology, creating communities of investigators with similar interests and approaches: 

• Hematologic Neoplasia focuses predominantly on hematologic malignancies.
• Molecular and Cellular Oncology focuses predominantly on solid tumor biology.
• Population Sciences encompasses epidemiology, outcomes research, and computational biology.

Investigators in each division collaborate widely with clinicians and scientists in other Medical Oncology divisions, other Dana-Farber departments, and external investigators. In particular, many Dana-Farber investigators have formal appointments at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and all are active members of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC).
