The division is a leader in developing new therapies for blood cancers, managing a pipeline of clinical trials through three disease-specific (Lymphoma, Myeloma, Leukemia/MDS) and one modality-specific (BMT/CART) multidisciplinary disease groups. These include CART- and CAR-NK cell therapies, molecularly targeted therapies, and immunotherapies. The clinical trial portfolio is bolstered by an outstanding Phase I program in partnership with the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) and a robust Health Delivery Research group.

As an NCI-designated consortium cancer center, SKCC includes researchers from Thomas Jefferson University and Drexel University, offering excellent shared core facilities. Located in Philadelphia, a vibrant urban city, it provides ample opportunities for professional and social engagement.
