| The International Cancer Research
Portfolio (ICRP) puts cancer research at your
fingertips. Cancer research funders from the United States
and the United Kingdom have joined together in a partnership
to classify their cancer research portfolios using the
Common Scientific Outline (CSO). Based on this unified
classification system, the ICRP allows users to search,
browse and sort cancer research by Type
of Cancer, Area
of Research, or Funding
Organization. |

HHMI – Howard Hughes Medical
Institute
The Institute carries out research with its own scientific
staff in HHMI laboratories across the United States. Using
the powerful new tools of molecular biology, these research
teams seek to explain how the human body functions and
why disease occurs. HHMI investigators have been involved
in many recent advances, from the discovery of genes related
to cancer, heart disease, obesity, cystic fibrosis, muscular
dystrophy, and other diseases to new insights about how
organisms develop, cells communicate or learning occurs. |
