Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center (CEDAR) is a highly collaborative institution within the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.

At CEDAR our mission is to detect and stop lethal cancers at the earliest stage because early detection saves lives. This is an ambitious goal, one that requires novelty, creativity, and innovation. We conduct groundbreaking translational cancer research to help people maintain a high quality of life and reduce cancer mortality, to create a global early detection community, and to have a positive impact on the Oregon economy.

Our clinical trials are cutting edge and laser focus on the exciting and rapidly evolving area of cancer early detection. CEDAR is committed to increasing the diversity of the campus community. We are dedicated to promoting inclusion and multiculturalism to build a successful organization by having outstanding researchers of diverse backgrounds work together.

Every Knight Cancer employee is expected to embody our guiding principles:
