The Network We are one of twelve NCI-funded PS-OC centers around the nation. Together, the PS-OC network addresses a broad range of problems in contemporary oncology, using tools and concepts from the physical sciences. Our sister centers, for example, study the evolution of cancers, metastasis, oncogenic signaling, and cancer stem cells. The network shares tools, materials, and data. In addition, investigators and students at the centers visit their sister centers via a trans-network exchange mechanism.
