The Center of Excellence in Cancer Research (CECR) was established in June 2013 at Tanta University Educational Hospital in Egypt. It is directed by Dr. Mohamed L. Salem and focuses on correlating immunologic and clinical data from genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic profiling of circulating and primary tumor cells. The CECR has core facilities for flow cytometry, cell sorting, and genomic and proteomic analysis to support its research.
