Two faculty members are Associate Directors in the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. They lead research in cancer prevention and control and the elimination of cancer disparities, respectively. In addition to conducting their own investigator-initiated research, Epidemiology faculty members collaborate with and provide expertise in study design to researchers in numerous departments across the MUSC campus. |
