TANDEM
Collaborative projects
at the intersection between basic and clinical research

TANDEM projects are collaborative cancer research programs at the intersection between basic and clinical research. 

Scientists and clinicians work together to translate findings from basic research into novel cancer therapies, or to develop biomarkers.
