Meyer Cancer Center’s dedicated scientific community and staff relentlessly pursue our fundamental mission: propelling cancer prevention and care forward through pioneering scientific exploration and actively involving communities to equitably alleviate the cancer burden.
Dear Friends,
For nearly a decade now, the scientific community and staff of the Meyer Cancer Center scientific community and staff have pursued our core mission: to advance cancer prevention and care through innovative scientific discovery and engaging communities to directly and equitably reduce the burden of cancer.
This past year, our basic and physician-scientists collaborated across the Meyer Cancer Center sphere - Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan - living up to our one Meyer Cancer Center ethos. They combined their efforts to translate discoveries made in the lab into innovative clinical trials and therapies, and we're excited to see where these efforts will lead.
We know that for our work to make a difference, we must partner with our community members and other institutions. So in 2022, our Community Advisory Board and Patient & Family Advisory Council guided many of our research studies and clinical trials to ensure our strategies are culturally competent and uphold our promise to provide the population we serve with world-class care.
All these efforts and more covered in this annual report ensured that we provided excellent patient-centered care and moved our outstanding research forward.
I'm so proud of our team and look forward to another terrific year!
Dr. Jedd Wolchok
Sandra and Edward Meyer Director, Meyer Cancer Center
From Brooklyn to Manhattan to Queens, we are engaging communities and patients for a direct and equitable impact on cancer research and care.
