Discovery in Our Labs

The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute directs cancer research for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and its affiliated institutions. Cancer Institute scientists are committed to reducing cancer incidence, mortality and morbidity in Arkansas and the surrounding region.

The Cancer Institute accomplishes its goals through focused research programs, shared resources and multidisciplinary disease-specific committees.

The Cancer Institute’s approach is simple: Discovery in our labs leads to the development of new treatment strategies, which are then delivered to the patients in our clinics. The bottom line for our patients is that our research fuels innovative treatment options.

Why I Do Cancer Research.

I watched my grandmother receive treatment for breast cancer and admired the way doctors cared for her. This first experience with cancer caused me to develop a passion and desire to become involved in the oncology community.

Jesus Delgado-Calle, Ph.D.
