Ohio State engineering experts are working across campus to revolutionize cancer care through technological innovation.

“We’re not trying to engineer cancer, we’re using engineering processes and principles to better diagnose and cure cancer,” says Matthew Ringel, MD, who, along with Jonathan Song, PhD, is a co-director of the Center for Cancer Engineering – Curing Cancer Through Research in Engineering and Sciences (CCE-CURES) program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center — James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).

CCE-CURES is a collaborative effort between the OSUCCC – James and several other colleges across Ohio State, including its colleges of engineering and arts and sciences. “We’re taking advantage of the incredible people we have here at Ohio State,” says Ringel, a thyroid cancer specialist who also leads The James Department of Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics. “We have 56 members right now and a core group is moving soon to the new Pelotonia Research Center (where the center will be housed).”
