Type Details: Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of
Oncology in Gliwice is an European Comprehensive Cancer Center and one of the
largest clinical institutions in Poland.The Division of Experimental Oncology is
involved in many aspects of basic, translational, and clinical research in oncology
since 1950. The Division comprises the Departments of Tumor Biology, Molecular
Biology, Experimental and Clinical Radiobiology, Epidemiology, Medical Physics and
Nuclear Medicine. Its research staff is well-trained, experienced and is well
recognized on the Polish and international research maps. In 2004, the Division was
awarded the title of,,National Center of Excellence".
The Center of Excelence comprises research departments and laboratories of MSC
Institute of Oncology in Gliwice. Major activity of the Center is devoted to
translational research in experimental oncology and mainly pertains to molecular
