Translational Oncology Partnership Program

Overview

Pedram Razavi
Director, Translational Oncology Partnership Program; Director, MSK Breast Translational Program and Molecular Tumor Board

The mission of the Translational Oncology Partnership Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is to accelerate oncology research and development by leveraging our clinical and scientific expertise, external collaborations, and cutting-edge technologies.  

Key priorities include: 

  • Biomarker Development Program: A collaborative research initiative focused on discovering and validating predictive and prognostic biomarkers 
  • Developing and validating high-throughput tools for screening and disease monitoring 
  • Expanding access to precision oncology worldwide 

Through strategic research partnerships with academic and industry collaborators, the program aims to advance promising discoveries into preclinical validation and early-phase clinical biomarker development. This will help bridge the gap between the bench and the bedside, with the goal of delivering more effective personalized therapies.

For MSK faculty, this program provides a centralized platform that supports collaborative translational research.

The program is available as a resource for MSK researchers across departments and disease management teams. The program’s infrastructure includes our personnel, who have expertise in:  

  • Communicating among internal stakeholders to execute collaborative research projects 
  • Engaging with and managing external stakeholders 
  • Managing innovative workflows for samples and data acquisition
