Centers & Programs
We currently have two centers dedicated to research. Other initiatives are in various stages of development.
Jefferson Center for Injury Research & Prevention (JCIRP)
Jefferson Molecular Profiling of Pancreatic Cancer (JMP PaC) Program
While we have the infrastructure to carry out molecular profiling, a barrier at this time is that insurance covers this panel of testing only for some patients based on diagnosis and prognosis (typically those with advanced-stage disease). The goal of our research program is to make comprehensive molecular profiling accessible and possible for all pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients that come to Jefferson for pancreatic cancer surgery.
