Researchers
We conduct research on a wide range of cancers and act as the organizational hub for all cancer activities at UCLA Health.
Accelerating Discoveries to Prevent and Cure Cancer
The UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) attained designation as a "comprehensive cancer center" by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1976, a testament to its sustained excellence in cancer research, education and outreach. A strong partnership with UCLA Health provides outstanding cancer patient care, prevention and survivorship.
The UCLA Health JCCC has an international reputation for developing new cancer therapies, providing the best in experimental and traditional treatments. Center members conduct research on a wide range of cancers and the Center offers patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials and research. Our experts also train and educate the next generation of medical researchers, and we provide and help organize rich training initiatives across the UCLA campus and at affiliate and partner institutions.
