The Cell Proliferation and Cell Death Program (Program 2) and the Molecular Mechanisms of Oncogenesis Program (Program 4), have been reorganized under the topic of Basic Science of Cancer, to be coordinated by Drs. Brady-Kalnay, Distelhorst, Houghton, and Stark. Specific interest Focus Groups have been formed around research areas, and these groups meet regularly to explore common research interests and develop collaborations that will advance cancer research programs. The potential benefits of such regular, focused meetings are:
| Focus Group | Leader |
| Cancer Vascular Biology and Angiogenesis | Keith McCrae, MD Roy Silverstein, MD |
| TGFβ | Philip Howe, PhD |
| Nuclear Receptors | David Danielpour, PhD Noa Noy, PhD |
| Inflammation, Infection and Cancer | Xiaoxia Li, PhD |
| Structural Biology (including Mass Spectrometry) | Jun Qin, PhD |
| Regulation of Cell Death – Apoptosis and Autophagy | Alexandru Almasan, PhD Clark Distelhorst, MD |
| Tumor Cell Adhesion, Growth Factor Receptor Signaling, Stromal Interactions, Migration and Metastasis | Susann Brady-Kalnay, PhD |
| STATs in Cancer (including Interferons) | Alan Levine, PhD |
| Systems Biology | James Jacobberger, PhD Sree Sreenath, PhD |
| Drug Discovery and Development | Menachem Shoham, PhD Anthony Berdis, PhD |
| Epigenetics and Cancer | Marian (Nikki) Harter, PhD |
