Cancer Convergence Education Network

The Cancer Convergence Education Network (CCEN) is an NSF-sponsored model program that supports the enhanced education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and career development of a group of trainee and early career physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, biologists, and clinicians affiliated with a distinct set of integrated, multidisciplinary, novel research projects in cancer, called ‘Convergence Research Teams’, funded by Stand Up to Cancer, NSF, and several other foundations and entities over the past decade.

CCEN works across disciplines, institutions, and labs, to connect, encourage, and facilitate opportunities for creative interactions to support collaborative novel approaches to solving the challenges presented by cancer.
