UT Health SA Newsroom: Children’s Cancer Research Institute poised to become one of the greatest
Three-hundred South Texas leaders including former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe Jr. received a red carpet welcome Nov. 19 to the sneak preview of a stellar $50 million research institute at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSC) where top scientists will study the biology of children’s cancer and extend the findings to adult cancer.
Since 2004, UT Health San Antonio, Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute’s (Greehey CCRI) mission has been to advance scientific knowledge relevant to childhood cancer, contribute to understanding its causes, and accelerate the translation of knowledge into novel therapies. Greehey CCRI strives to have a national and global impact on childhood cancer by discovering, developing, and disseminating new scientific knowledge. Our mission consists of three key areas — research, clinical, and education.
