CSS Institute of Molecular Medicine at Windber
CSS Institute of Molecular Medicine at Windber (www.wriwindber.org) is a highly collaborative translational research institute with a mission to improve patient care by advancing cancer research. The Institute has developed a first-class biobanking system to store biospecimens from research participants with or without cancer, accompanied by rich clinicopathologic data which includes treatment and outcome. Data is managed by an advanced informatics infrastructure system developed in-house. We perform both wet-lab and in-silico research on human cancers, using cutting-edge proteogenomic technologies to study DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites, etc. Our institute is part of a large research network focused on major pan-cancer projects, with ample funding, rich technological resources, as well as clinical and research domain experts with complementary knowledge that provides a highly collaborative translational research environment.
