In addition, Rutgers Cancer Institute has numerous shared resources available to faculty to facilitate research, including: 1) Population Science (DatStat, data collection); 2) Biostatistics; 3) a bio-specimen repository; and 4) precision oncology and access to ORIEN (Oncology Research Information Exchange Network), a shared resource for precision oncology data for epidemiology studies. Rutgers Cancer Institute, located in New Brunswick, NJ, is the state’s only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center and is easily accessible to New York City, Newark Airport, and Philadelphia by public transportation.
