"It is unfathomable that in a country like America there is still no cure for cancer."
– Geoffrey Beene

From this disbelief the Geoffrey Beene Cancer Research Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering was created and funded by an initial $46 million investment.

The state of the art laboratory, designed to respond to scientific opportunities as they arise in the fields of cancer biology, cancer genetics, human oncology and human cancer pathogenesis, is attracting top scientists and doctors from around the world.

The hallmark of the Geoffrey Beene Cancer Research Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering is its focus on innovative new research approaches across a variety of cancers; translational strategies that will lead to prevention through improved diagnostics and enhanced quality of life treatments toward the ultimate goal of making cancer a more manageable and perhaps one day, a curable disease.
