Cancer Research Institute Young Philanthropists

The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is the preeminent non-profit organization providing the means for scientists to further the understanding of how the immune system can be harnessed to treat and control cancer. CRI provides a broad range of research funding opportunities that support all levels of research, from the first stirrings of interest in cancer immunology to the clinical application of newly discovered biomedical technologies. Joining the Institute in identifying top scientific talent is the Scientific Advisory Council (SAC), an international roster of scientists who share a deep commitment to driving the field of immunology forward at an accelerated pace by supporting creative, scientifically rigorous research. The SAC is recognized as one of the preeminent brain trusts currently acting in an advisory capacity, counting among its members four Nobel Laureates, 29 members of the National Academy of Sciences, and 23 members of the Academy of Cancer Immunology.
