Research Institutes

Two innovative institutes have been established within The University of Arizona Cancer Center to focus upon special populations.

The Cancer Health Disparities Institute addresses cancer disparities in underserved populations in Arizona by bringing together and synergizing the strengths and expertise of several units at the University of Arizona. This institute will provide research and training opportunities for investigators proposing research or planning to work in underserved communities.

The Skin Cancer Institute aims to unify various skin cancer-related research and educational activities into one coordinated entity. The Skin Cancer Institute brings together innovative research, visionary, clinical care and life changing education and outreach under one roof.
