The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is a nonprofit organization exclusively focused on advancing cancer immunotherapy through rigorous scientific research, global collaboration, and data-driven innovation.
Since 1953, CRI has empowered researchers to uncover how the immune system can fight cancer - and helped transform bold scientific ideas into treatments. We fund breakthrough research at every stage, from fundamental immunology to clinical translation.
Our global ecosystem supports young investigators, accelerates high-risk, high-reward ideas, and promotes collaboration between academia, biotech, and industry.
Our mission is to create a world immune to cancer by driving scientific discovery, accelerating collaboration, and turning breakthroughs into life-saving treatments.
