8th Annual
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
NIH 2011 Ranking: 21st (Direct plus indirect costs but excluding R & D contracts and ARRA awards) = $239,311,617 [1]
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) employs three Nobel Prize winners, is responsible for ground breaking discoveries in cancer research, and has an annual research budget close to $400 million.
Nearly $17 million was awarded to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for projects focusing on colon cancer biomarker discovery and breast and ovarian cancer biomarker validation. [2]
Uncovering colon cancer’s genetic roots is the focus of a new $13 million, four-year, National Cancer Institute-funded project at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. [3]
Fred Hutch recently acquired a new building to house offices and labs and expand the Center's infectious disease, immunotherapy, and solid tumor research capabilities. [4]
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center received two grants with a total value of $10.1 million from the National Institutes of Health to obtain a high-performance computing cluster and to establish a campus-based facility for the safeguarding and consolidation of research data. [5]
The National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute of the National Institutes of Health has awarded a $4.3 million, four-year grant to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to study how genetic variations in DNA determine the outcome and success in patients who undergo stem-cell transplantation [6]
The National Cancer Institute recently announced that a team co-led by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and The Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass. has been selected to participate in a National Cancer Institute-funded research consortium dedicated to understanding the molecular basis of cancer. The Hutchinson Center/Broad-led team will receive approximately $9 million in federal funding over three years. [7]
Carissa Perez Olsen, Ph.D., a Weintraub Scholar in the Basic Sciences Division of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, recently received a $1.25 million National Institutes of Health Director’s Early Independence Award to support her research into the mechanisms of cancer, aging-related diseases and natural aging. [8]
The W.M. Keck Foundation today said it has awarded the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center a $1 million grant to sequence DNA from the human immune system to provide a greater understanding of the genetic signatures of a large number of pathogenic exposures. [9]
Geneticist Catherine (Katie) Peichel, Ph.D., a member of the Basic Sciences and Human Biology divisions at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, has received a $40,000 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship Award for 2013 to study the genetic basis of variations in body type and behavior between species. [10]
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK) today announced a partnership to fund development of therapeutics to treat an inherited form of muscular dystrophy. The goal of the new agreement is to develop a small-molecule-based medicine to potentially reverse facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. [11]
In addition to three Nobel Laureates, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center doctors and scientists include a MacArthur Fellow, six members of the National Academy of Sciences, four members of the Institute of Medicine, four members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and eight current and former Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators.
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is affiliated with the University of Washington, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. The Center has 200 research groups in four scientific divisions.
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has pioneered many lifesaving cancer research breakthroughs. The institution is the only comprehensive cancer center in Oregon and Washington. Although it receives ample funding from federal research grants, many large donations come from private sponsorship.
