Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation Information

The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) is dedicated to finding cures for cancer through reprogramming cancer cells, a type of research in which scientists alter cancer cells so they behave like normal, healthy cells. SWCRF scientists have demonstrated that this approach results in less toxic treatments that can cure cancer. Because no scientist working alone can cure cancer, we have spearheaded global collaboration among the best minds in cancer research for over three decades. Only through shared effort will our scientists come to understand the common denominators that all cancers share, enabling them to speed cures to patients. It is our goal to develop therapies for all types of cancers—and to eradicate the disease as we know it today.
