Or you can explore centers in your area on your own. For example, here in Seattle, Fred Hutchinson in involved in research involving targeted drugs and genetically modified immune-cell therapies.
Clinicaltrials.gov is more of a scattershot approach, but clinicaltrials.gov results can be narrowed by applying filters like "recruiting" "interventional" "phase X" location, age, and adding "stage X" as a keyword. And then there are sponsors, like the Pancreatic Action Network https://pancan.org/research/
