The University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation (UCCRF) supports basic and clinical research programs related to the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer at the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCCRC). Our goal is to understand, cure and prevent each of the scores of diseases we collectively call cancer. We pursue this goal by supporting collaboration among a diverse and dedicated team of outstanding laboratory scientists, caregivers, clinical researchers, and trainees. These partnerships help us develop solutions tailored to the complexity of individual cancers and the unique needs of each patient.
