Cancer Research

The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center is committed to leading-edge research to provide better treatment and ultimately, cures for cancer. With an emphasis on cancer research, the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR) at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison is designed to allow researchers to work with scientists from other disciplines, speeding the transfer of science to patients.  

In addition, the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, an integral part of the UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC), is dedicated to cancer research and conducts some of the most innovative research in this field.

Full membership at the UW Carbone Cancer Center total more than 280 faculty from 55 departments and 9 schools. Total research funding for all cancer center members has gone from $86 million in 2002 to $160 million in 2010.
