Developmental Therapeutics

Developmental Therapeutics Program Promotes the Advancement of Discoveries

The Developmental Therapeutics Program fosters the advancement of University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center discoveries to translational research. Under the guidance of co-leaders Jolanta Grembecka, Ph.D., and Judith Sebolt-Leopold, Ph.D., the Developmental Therapeutics Program moves basic science discoveries to the preclinical level and aids members in moving their discoveries along the translational pipeline.
