CSI-CANCER
The vision of USC Michelson Center CSI-Cancer is guided by enhancing the quality of care for cancer patients by solving wicked problems in cancer through convergent science. The cancer patient is always the point of convergence and provides the focus for researchers across disciplines participating in research projects. CSI-Cancer aims to integrate patient, model system, and high-content single cell data along with advanced machine learning methods to translate clinically observed correlations into a mechanistic understanding of the physical and biological underpinnings of cancer dynamics. The organizing framework of the physical dynamics of cancer at the lab focuses on the spatial distributions and temporal evolution of the disease at the cellular, human, and population scale.

USC INTERCEPT Early Detection of Breast Cancer
The overarching goal of INTERCEPT Early Detection Breast Cancer is to provide a first-line screening tool that can complement or substitute for mammography using a simple laboratory blood draw that can achieve higher accuracy for detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages while being more readily available with less discomfort.

Convergent Science Cancer Consortium
CSI-Cancer is leading a DoD-funded Convergent Science Cancer Consortium (CSCC). We are establishing a research infrastructure to demonstrate how convergent science research will address the gaps in cancer care. Our collaborations are with researchers from Cedars-Sinai, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and Stanford University.
