The UC Cancer Center consists of research-based and patient-care-based
facilities. Research-based facilities are located throughout the
greater Cincinnati area.
- The Barrett Center at University Hospital
The cornerstone of the UC Cancer Center and the region's major cancer
treatment. The Charles M. Barrett Cancer Center has a long-standing
reputation for providing the most advanced and complete range of cancer
services available in the region. The Barrett Center is a unique
facility offering screening, diagnosis and treatment for all types of
cancer at one central, convenient location. The Barrett Center has
consistently been ranked among the best in the US News and World Report
guide to "America's Best Hospitals."
- UC's Vontz Center for Molecular Studies
Researchers at the Vontz Center focus on the discovery and
understanding of the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms that
contribute to the development and progression of diseases such as
cancer, brain and nervous system disorders, diabetes and obesity. The
Vontz Center is home to many core facilities for researchers at the UC
Medical Center.
- Genome Research Institute
The Genome Research Institute was established as a center dedicated to
elucidating disease mechanisms by uniting the research strengths of
both the academic and pharmaceutical realms. Research programs at the
Institute utilize the application of state-of-the-art modern molecular
technologies to understand disease processes. Current major focus areas
are obesity/diabetes, vascular biology, metabolic diseases, and cancer.
- Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
The Cincinnati Children's Hospital Research Foundation, founded in
1931, is one of the most outstanding pediatric research institutions in
the nation. The Cincinnati Children's Hospital Research scientists have
been responsible for such breakthrough discoveries as the Sabin oral
polio vaccine, the first practical heart-lung machine that made open
heart surgery possible, and discovery of key ingredients of the
surfactant preparation used throughout the world to save the lives of
thousands of infants each year.
- Cincinnati VA Medical Center
The Cincinnati VA Medical Center ( CVAMC ) has been closely affiliated
with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and University
Health Care Center since the VA's opening in 1955. The Cincinnati VA
has been and remains a major partner in medical education. They support
clinical rotations for medical students, residents, fellows, student
nurses, in addition to many other health career trainees. Most of the
clinical staff have appointments at the University of Cincinnati within
the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, and within other Colleges of the
University. The CVAMC is part of Veterans Affairs VISN 10's health
provider network. They are a member of the Southwest Oncology Study
Group. This provides the Cincinnati VA the opportunity to bridge with
cancer experts from around the United States as well as to support
clinical investigational treatment protocols which are designed to
answer significant questions relative to better ways to treat
neoplastic diseases. The Cincinnati VA is supported by multiple
pharmaceutical firms which enable us to clinically test newer drugs and
different combinations of drugs for their effectiveness against
selected hematological and oncological diseases. The Section is also
supported by grants from the NIH and VA permitting us to study the
biology of selected hematological diseases.
- The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati
Health Alliance cancer centers, staff and physicians offer a
multidisciplinary approach to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment
of cancer including everything from clinical trials to cancer
information to support groups.
- Hoxworth Blood Center
Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, is the
only blood center for the greater Cincinnati area. Serving a 15-county
area in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, Hoxworth collects, tests, processes
and distributes blood and blood components to 27 hospitals and medical
centers.
- UC Medical Center
The University of Cincinnati is one of America's leading academic
health centers. Excellence in education, patient care, and research
draws students, researchers, physicians and patients from all over the
world to take advantage of many unique opportunities. Students and
faculty at UC create and learn in an exciting and supportive
environment on the cutting edge of Biomedical Science.
