Dana-Farber’s mission is evenly divided between cutting-edge, collaborative research and state-of-the-art patient care. ​As a direct result of this fully integrated approach, the Institute has a demonstrated track record of bringing discoveries from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside in record time. Central to this translational research model is the unparalleled philanthropic support that accelerates progress.
