Cancer research, treatment, and patient care traditionally occupy separate facilities, limiting opportunities interdisciplinary collaboration. The Ellison Medical Institute’s Founding Director Dr. David Agus’s believes a fundamental shift in the fight against cancer begins with changing the "soil" so the "seed" cannot grow. This idea shapes the vision for a $43.4 million world-class cancer research and treatment institute that brings together scientists, clinicians, and patients in an environment designed to support well-being.
