"It’s not just research for the sake of research. It’s the potential to provide simple and effective methods to protect against disease and cancer. That’s what has always been very important to me."

125 years of groundbreaking discoveries – and hope.
In 1898, Dr. Roswell Park founded the first institution in the world to focus exclusively on cancer research.
Since then, we’ve been a model for cancer research centers around the world – and we’re continually expanding and transforming cancer science in ways our founder could only have imagined.
