About
The Wistar Institute recognizes that collaboration is one of its core traditional strengths, which is why the Institute takes a team science based approach to catalyzing new discoveries and helping translate basic scientific findings into next generation therapeutics and diagnostics through meaningful partnerships. Researchers at Wistar operate within the frameworks of the Cancer Center and the Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center. Within the Cancer Center's program cores, researchers benefit from the technical support and instrumentation provided by Wistar's Shared Resources facilities. Wistar's expertise in cancer research, infectious diseases and vaccines, combined with the ability to work with partners to move advances from the laboratory to the clinic as quickly as possible, have led to the marketed vaccines against rubella, rabies and rotavirus. As an NCI-designated cancer center, Wistar's cutting edge research investigations into new targeted therapies and immunotherapies for blood-based cancer and solid tumors are leading to significant insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease biology. Committed to improving health, eradicating disease, and expanding the boundaries of knowledge through research and training, the Institute works collaboratively with its partners to ensure the rapid advancement of biomedical research.
