Collaborating Sites
This region is home to one of the most powerful engines of medical progress in the country.
CONSORTIUM PARTNERS
San Diego State University
SDSU, one of four nationally accredited schools of public health in California, is located in one of the most vibrant and culturally diverse areas in the U.S. Our federally funded partnership with SDSU creates research opportunities for diverse populations.
La Jolla Institute for Immunology
LJI focuses on understanding the immune response to infectious agents and cancers. Located just steps from the Cancer Center, collaborative synergies are a natural byproduct of this proximity.
Strength in Collaboration
Together with SDSU and LJI, we're advancing innovative therapies, empowering the next generation of scientists and creating a patient-centered approach to care.
C3 Cancer Centers Council
The The San Diego National Cancer Institute Cancer Centers Council (C3) is a collaborative effort between the three NCI-designated Cancer Centers in the San Diego area (Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute) to leverage their collective talents and resources. The initial core facility-based initiative of the C3 focuses on enhancing inter-institutional sharing of a unique core facility at each center. Recharge rates in these cores have been negotiated to be the host institutions’ cancer center member internal rate plus 16% indirect cost. This reduced cost access to unique cores, along with enhanced outreach by the cores, provides valuable new technical resources
SANFORD BURNHAM PREBYS MEDICAL DISCOVERY INSTITUTE
This organization seeks to understand the underlying biological mechanisms that generate good health or, when they go awry, cause disease. With interest in drug discovery, stem cells, nanomedicine and translational medicine, working to discover the next generation of treatments for cancer and other diseases.
SALK INSTITUTE
Salk conducts molecular biology and genetics research to provide new understanding and potential new therapies and treatments for a range of diseases, including cancer.
Collaborating Sites
Moores Cancer Center is located on the University of California, San Diego campus in the third most populous county in California. The campus is on 1,200 acres of coastal woodland in the research-rich “Golden Triangle” in La Jolla. It is adjacent to a host of biomedical research institutes, including the Burnham Institute, the Salk Institute, the Scripps Research Institute, and the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology. It is surrounded by over 470 biomedical and biopharmaceutical companies, which makes this one of the most powerful engines of medical progress in the country.
LUDWIG INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH
One of just two U.S. branches of LICR is located on the UC San Diego campus, enabling powerful scientific synergies with the Cancer Center. It resides in the Cellular and Molecular Medicine-East building on the main UCSD campus, and all LICR scientists have faculty appointments at UCSD. Ludwig’s top leaders sit on our Senior Leaders Council.
SAN DIEGO SUPERCOMPUTER CENTER
Cancer Center researchers rely on the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), one of only two in the nation, for advanced data infrastructure and expertise. SDSC supports genomics, computational biology, and population science through high-performance computing, informatics, and analytic tools.
CENTER FOR MICROBIOME INNOVATION
The UC San Diego Center for Microbiome Innovation (CMI) leverages the university’s strengths to draw interdisciplinary teams of researchers together and push the boundaries of the human understanding of microbiomes — the distinct constellations of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that live within and around humans, other species, and the environment.
JACOBS SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
The UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering provides the human and intellectual capital to drive our innovation society. The Jacobs School aims to leverage their world renowned reputation to pursue engineering and computer science for the public good and to conduct interdisciplinary research that solves challenges no lab, discipline or industry can solve alone.
CENTER FOR EPIGENOMICS
The Center for Epigenomics at UC San Diego is a state-of-the-art collaborative hub specializing in advanced genomic and epigenomic technologies. Its mission is to drive transformative discoveries by partnering with scientific leaders to tackle critical questions in human health.
