The division has four sections: Hematology, Oncology, Stem Cell Transplantation and Cancer Biology. The division currently has over 16 full time faculty members. We are a recognized leader in clinical and translational research aimed at improving the lives of children suffering from hematologic diseases and cancer. All members of the division are actively involved in research. The division has more than 40 active research projects with peer-reviewed funding. Senior faculty members play key roles in the Children’s Oncology Group and in other national and international research consortium. Several investigators in our program (Sakamoto, Porteus, Sage, Sweet-Cordero and Weinberg) also maintain active, NIH funded basic research programs. With over 180 new oncologic diagnosis a year and a large number of referrals, we are the largest oncology center in northern California and one of the largest on the West Coast.
