Center for Innovations in Cancer and Transplant 

The Center for Innovations in Cancer & Transplant (CICT) is the nation’s first-of-its-kind partnership uniting oncology, transplant medicine, and data-driven research. Founded in 2021 in Seattle by Dr. Christopher Blosser with UW Medicine and Fred Hutch, CICT tackles one of modern medicine’s greatest challenges: cancer risk in organ transplant recipients, driven by immunosuppression. CICT created the world’s first Cancer & Organ Transplant Clinic (COTC), where multidisciplinary teams deliver coordinated care for patients facing both cancer and transplant needs. It also launched the first national bioregistry to integrate cancer and transplant data, enabling bi-directional sharing and future biobank development. Built on leadership, scientific guidance, and community engagement, CICT is transforming care, advancing research, and improving outcomes for patients at this complex intersection.
