Population Science Research

The mission of population science is to reduce the risk, incidence, and deaths from cancer as well as enhance the quality of life for cancer survivors. Through its shared resource (Population Data Research Core), and other activities at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, Population Science fosters new research projects and collaborations of clinical, basic, and population scientists to further individual and population health. Genetic, epidemiologic, behavioral, applied, and surveillance cancer research are typical activities of population science researchers.

Research Highlight


DJ Murry, PharmD

Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Member, DJ Murry, PharmD, and colleagues are interested in research looking at whether certain genetic changes are common in patients diagnosed with lymphoma, whether these changes affect response to treatment, and research which gathers information about how diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma affects individuals’ abilities to remember, recall, and process information. Dr. Murry and colleagues were recently awarded a grant in which they hope to begin enrolling individuals. Click here Click here for more information about the study.
