Division of Cancer Biology
The Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) was created by the reorganization of NCI in 1995, and has the principal Federal responsibility for managing a grant- and contract-supported program of basic and applied research on cancer cell biology, including research on carcinogenesis and cancer immunology. In addition to investigating basic cellular mechanisms, this research includes examination of the role of biological, chemical, and physical agents in the initiation, promotion or inhibition of cancer and the biological and health effects of exposures to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
