More than a century ago, Dr. Roswell Park recognized the need for a medical facility that would concentrate exclusively on the study and treatment of cancer. The strength of his vision convinced the New York State Legislature to provide a grant for the establishment of the world's first cancer research center.

Ultimately, that investment would benefit the entire world. Since then, Roswell Park Cancer Institute has been the source of monumental advances in the diagnosis and treatment of a formidable disease. Today a renaissance at RPCI has set the stage for future discovery. Inspired by emerging technologies and new ways of thinking, Roswell Park is expanding its campus, recruiting world-renowned scientists and clinicians and placing greater emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration in research and treatment.

The Institute has added more than 100 of the nation's best clinical and scientific faculty to their ranks in the past three years alone. Their fresh ideas will build on the expertise of their existing intellectual base and open up untested routes to discovery. The new Center for Genetics and Pharmacology currently under construction will have a tremendous impact on recruitment, retention and research. It will adjoin the University at Buffalo's Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences and the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute as part of a comprehensive Life Sciences Complex, creating fertile ground for inquiry and the sharing of information.
