Bench-to-Bedside Translational Research Approach

The UAB Department of Radiation Oncology's Research Program utilizes three dedicated research areas for its translational approach to advance efforts in cancer prevention, treatment and cure.

This is an experimental radio-immunotherapy program comprised of 5 highly interactive laboratories using radiolabeled antibodies that bind to antigens expressed on the surface of cancer cells.
The Pre-Clinical research team has radiation oncologists and biologists interested in bridging the gap from the basic science research performed in the Radiation Biology area to the research trials conducted in the Clinical Research area.
10 Radiation Oncologists are devoted to the clinical investigation of the potential benefits, safety and efficacy of cancer drugs, biologics and devices.
