WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Thank you for visiting my Giving Page to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
The mission of the Department of Medical Oncology at Dana-Farber is to provide outstanding and compassionate clinical care to patients with cancer, to perform cutting-edge basic and clinical research, and to provide education and training to the next generation of physicians and scientists who are focused on the biology and treatment of cancer. The department provides a structure in which basic scientists, clinical and translational investigators, and clinical oncologists interact, collaborate, and pool their collective expertise to make significant advances in cancer care and research.
A defining feature of the Department of Medical Oncology is the integration of outstanding basic cancer research and clinical oncology within the same department. Clinicians in the department have deep understanding of the genetics and biology of cancer and engage in clinical research with deep correlative scientific studies. Nearly all basic scientists in the department are clinically trained and are motivated to link the implications of laboratory findings to potential clinical impact, and to take clinical observations as the inspiration for laboratory studies.
Dana-Farber provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults and is home to groundbreaking cancer discoveries. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community efforts to advance Dana-Farber’s mission.
