Big news from Stockholm

 

We wanted you to share in today’s excitement! Yesterday, our own Jim Allison, Ph.D., was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his groundbreaking work in immunotherapy. At the ceremony in Stockholm, he accepted his medal and diploma from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. Dr. Allison is transforming the world of cancer research and treatment, and getting us closer to Making Cancer History®. We’re so proud of him, and so grateful to you for making important breakthroughs like this possible.  Be sure to watch our video about how this blues-loving scientist from a small South Texas town discovered therapies that free the immune system to attack cancer tumors. Many of our donors have made gifts to honor Dr. Allison’s Nobel Prize win and to help advance pioneering cancer research. If you’d like to do the same, you can make a donation to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center here. Thank you again for your continuing support.
