Massey Cancer Center was established at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in 1974, became a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in 1975, and has been continuously funded by an NCI Cancer Center Support Grant since that time. The research activities of Massey Cancer Center are organized into five scientific programs: Molecular Therapeutics, Cancer Cell Biology and Genetics, Immune Mechanisms, Radiation Biology and Oncology, and Cancer Control. There are a total of 95 research members in the cancer center, representing 14 different departments at the medical center and academic campuses, and the amount of extramural research support awarded to these investigators totals approximately $34 million per year. A major commitment to the development of cancer research at VCU is demonstrated by the construction of a new Cancer Center research pavilion with approximately 80,000 square feet of research laboratory space. This space, which is scheduled for completion in early 2006, will be used to house existing and newly recruited investigators working in areas of cancer biology and genetics with preference given to highly productive and interactive groups of investigators.
