Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Program Activities: National Cancer Institute
The Division of Cancer Biology and Diagnosis consists of both intramural and collaborative research programs in the biology and diagnosis of cancer. The Division also coordinates the activities of the Breast Cancer Task Force and the Lung Cancer Program, and manages a collaborative program in immunology. A close coordination is maintained with other divisions of nci in areas of common interest.
The intramural research program consists of three broad areas: biology, immunology, and clinical research. A group of laboratories performing basic research in cancer biology includes the Laboratories of Biochemistry, Pathophysiology, Molecular Biology, and Theoretical Biology. Four units, Immunology Branch and the Laboratories of Immunobiology, Immunodiagnosis and Cell Biology, together with a sizeable contract program, are assigned to the Associate Director for Immunology. Three clinical branches work in the fields of Dermatology, Metabolism, and Pathology. A fourth organizational element, under the Associate Director for Extramural Research, manages the three major contract programs: Cancer Diagnosis, Breast Cancer Task Force, and Cytology Automation.
Except for personnel shifts arising from retirements and reassignments, no major organizational changes have occurred last year.
