The Women’s Cancer Research Center
The Women’s Cancer Research Center (WCRC) is a collaboration between UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and the Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI).
The mission of the WCRC is to reduce the incidence and death from women’s cancer. This mission is achieved through the development and fostering of vibrant basic, translational, and clinical research aimed at translating novel discoveries into improved patient care.

Tumor Microenvironment Center
The Tumor Microenvironment Center (TMC) brings together preclinical and clinical scientists with the goal of translating basic knowledge of the mechanisms of interaction between cancer cells and their microenvironment, to enhance and accelerate direct patient-oriented interventions. Included in the microenvironment are the immune, inflammatory, and patient-specific factors that regulate cancer development, progression, and response to anti-cancer treatments.
