For many of the more than 1.9 million Americans diagnosed with cancer every year, hope comes from research. The mission of the Forbes Institute for Cancer Discovery is to fuel that hope. We are aggressively turning promising scientific discoveries into new, more effective options for patients.

As a leading research entity within the Rogel Cancer Center, the Forbes Institute leverages the strengths of faculty from across our top schools of medicine, nursing, public health, social work, pharmacy, dentistry, engineering, and more. We distribute grants fully funded by philanthropy to multidisciplinary teams that are pursuing:

• Personalized immunotherapy
• New drugs that target pancreatic, breast, and other cancers
• New understanding of what drives the growth of cancerous tumors
• The identification of biological targets for cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment

There’s much more. Your gift will drive breakthroughs in cancer research. Together, we can fuel cancer discovery and move toward cures.
