70 Years of Discovery

In the quest to conquer cancer, the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) stands at the forefront of a revolution that has transformed the landscape of cancer treatment. Celebrating 70 years of relentless pursuit and innovation, CRI’s journey is a testament to the power of immunotherapy—turning the promise of immunotherapy into a tangible reality for millions worldwide.

A Legacy of Breakthroughs

Extraordinary milestones have marked the past seven decades. From the nascent days of immunotherapy research to witnessing its designation as the “Scientific Breakthrough of the Year” by Science in 2013, CRI has been the bedrock of funding and support in this transformative field.

Virtually no one thought immunotherapy would work until it finally did.
