Kentucky Markey Cancer Control Program |
A
multifaceted and comprehensive program, the Markey Cancer Control
Program is part of the Markey
Cancer Center at the University of
Kentucky. The Markey Cancer Control Program has four divisions, which
work together in a collegial environment that fosters collaboration,
encourages sharing of resources, and promotes quality research.
These
divisions receive funding from a variety of sources, including the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the National
Cancer Institute, state funds, voluntary health agencies, and
private organizations. The capabilities of the four divisions are
strengthened through the leadership of Tom
Tucker, PhD, MPH, Associate Director of the Markey Cancer Control
Program.
