Mission
Established in 1976, the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation is an international organization that is dedicated to supporting a focused research program to develop targeted cancer cell-specific therapies with minimal toxicity, such as differentiation therapy. The Foundation is unique in that its research is not disease-specific but concept driven. Since inception, we have supported and trained more than 160 internationally recognized scientists by awarding over $65 million in strategically focused grants. Foundation-supported research includes reprogramming chaotically growing cancer cells to behave normally, understanding cancer stem cells, and mobilizing the immune system. These will lead to precisely targeted treatments or preventatives which will have minimal side effects on the recipients.
