Collaboration is an essential element of translational research, both internally through a multidisciplinary team approach to research and care, and externally through partnerships with other institutions.

City of Hope works with medical and academic centers around the country and internationally on research studies to advance our understanding about cancer, its causes, prevention and treatment. Additionally, our Office of Technology Licensing enables us to work with partnering companies to help develop and bring our scientific discoveries to market for the benefit of all patients.
