About the Team and Mission
The Division of Pediatric Hematology Oncology at the University of Utah School of Medicine, in collaboration with the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) and Primary Children's Hospital (PCH), has made a strategic commitment to exploring Pediatric Cancer Areas of Excellence. This initiative aims to foster a sustainable culture of discovery within a premier research enterprise.
HCI, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, possesses unparalleled depth in population sciences research. The institute works collaboratively with clinicians to perform practice-changing research, supported by major ongoing initiatives in environmental health, digital healthcare, care delivery models, financial outcomes, and telehealth for rural populations. The integrated health system and HCI's participation in the ORIEN network provide opportunities for multidisciplinary collaborations in basic and translational research, epidemiology, and population-based studies of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers.
The program benefits from superb shared resources, including the Utah Population Database with over 16 million records linking genealogies, health records, and vital statistics, as well as the Utah Cancer Registry, a preeminent SEER site. The Department of Pediatrics ranks among the top 15 Pediatric Departments in NIH funding and offers robust infrastructure, faculty mentoring, and grant writing support, complemented by a robust biotechnology and venture commercialization program at the university.
