Ex­clu­sive: Park­er In­sti­tute ex­pands to Weill Cor­nell Med­i­cine as it grows im­munother­a­py work

The Park­er In­sti­tute for Can­cer Im­munother­a­py has added Weill Cor­nell Med­i­cine to its net­work of cen­ters across the US, with a fo­cus on cell ther­a­py for sol­id tu­mors and pri­or­i­ti­za­tion of vac­cine tar­gets.

While the in­sti­tute would not dis­close the amount of fund­ing, the Cor­nell site will car­ry on for five years with an op­por­tu­ni­ty to re­new, ac­cord­ing to new­ly-ap­point­ed di­rec­tor Jedd Wol­chok. The group said it has dis­trib­uted $260 mil­lion to mem­ber re­searchers to sup­port sci­en­tif­ic re­search at its cen­ters.
