CPDR people play a vital role in ensuring success
of our daily research and business activities and CDPR's values are
the foundation which our people conduct themselves. Every person throughout
the organization is expected to adhere to our core values of Integrity,
Teamwork, Excellence and Accountability.
Below we list the core programs within CPDR and link
to a list of experts involved in making each program dynamic.
 Recognizing that too few men have participated in clinical trials in the past, this Program will make state-of-the-art research trials available to deserving military health beneficiaries. The Program is open to all DoD healthcare beneficiaries worldwide. The
CPDR Multicenter National Database contains clinical data on 19,000
patients from nine military and one non-military medical center from
around the US. This database has been used to examine patterns in prostate
cancer treatment, progression, and survival. The
Basic Science Research Program of the CPDR is a multi-disciplinary research
endeavor. The area of research efforts are; prostate cancer specific
gene alterations, hormonal mechanisms in prostate cancer, development
of novel cell culture models, novel bio-markers and to identify effective
therapeutic targets. The
goal of the CPDR Biorepository is to support translational studies at
CPDR, and complement efforts of other investigators in the field, by
providing human biologic specimens unique to CPDR. CPDR
established a large network of long-term academic collaborations helping
our program with additional special expertise. Collaborations with the
pharmaceutical and biotech industry are focused around patented CPDR
discoveries and technologies to accelerate their translation into potential
clinical applications. The
postdoctoral training program has been a great success and has continued
to grow since its inception. The Department of Surgery, USUHS, CPDR
trains residents, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduates
and high school students. |
