The Ludwig Center for Metastasis

The Center brings together researchers from various areas of expertise, including molecular and cell biology, bioinformatics, chemistry, genetics, imaging and medicine to dissect the basic mechanisms of metastasis using sophisticated, state-of-the-art approaches. Ultimately, the Center aims to further our understanding of what fundamentally controls cancer’s deadly spread and translate laboratory concepts to novel therapeutics to treat and prevent metastasis.

Co-Directing the Center are Geoffrey Greene, Ph.D., Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor, Ben May Department for Cancer Research, and Ralph Weichselbaum, M. D., Daniel K. Ludwig Professor and Chairman, Department of Radiation & Cellular Oncology. The Metastasis Center is linked to the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center.
