Biotechnology, Imaging & Drug Development (BIDD) The Biotechnology, Imaging & Drug Development (BIDD) program brings UCI’s considerable strengths in chemistry, physics, optics, engineering, biology, and medicine to utilize novel computational, chemical, and engineering-based approaches to detect, diagnose, and treat cancer. Learn More Systems, Pathways & Targets (SPT) The Systems, Pathways & Targets (SPT) program integrates traditional cancer biology experimentalists with members who have expertise in the systems biology of cancer to study the fundamental biology of individual cancer cells as well as the interactions among cells in the tumor environment and metastatic sites. Learn More Cancer Control (CC) The Cancer Control (CC) program fosters and facilitates research designed to identify and reduce cancer risk, and improve cancer outcomes and quality of life throughout the cancer care trajectory.
