Scientific Working Groups
The NYGC has established scientific working groups with the objective of bringing together NYGC researchers and the scientific community to advance disease-based research in areas where our strengths and experience can make a significant difference.
The Genome Center Cancer Group (GCCG), led by Harold Varmus, MD, NYGC and Weill Cornell Medicine, and Charles Sawyers, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, is composed of clinicians and cancer researchers from NYGC’s member institutions, including 7 NCI-Designated Cancer Centers. In 2017, the GCCG launched Polyethnic-1000, a project to study cancer in New York’s ethnically diverse, underserved patient populations.
