Salk Institute Conquering Cancer Initiative

Salk’s Conquering Cancer Initiative will further empower our world-renowned cancer research team to transform cancer therapy by engaging our community partners in a collective effort to redefine cancer care. Following in the footsteps of our founder Jonas Salk, this institution has never shied away from daunting challenges or outside-the-box science. Today we are joining with forward-thinking individuals who have the same dedication to seeing serious illnesses defeated once and for all. Salk’s researchers will combine foundational biological research with advanced biomedical technologies to overcome hard-to-kill tumors, keying in on the five deadliest cancers: breast (triple negative), brain (glioblastoma), pancreatic, lung and ovarian.
