Dr. Roswell Park

In 1898, Dr. Roswell Park established the first cancer center in the United States. He brought researchers and clinicians into one "dedicated setting" to study and treat malignant disease. His goal was to assemble scientists "fitted for such work.”

More than 120 years later, we’re one of the few Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country, with world-renowned faculty and world-class facilities. Our interdisciplinary focus means you’ll work in a unique immersive environment you won’t find anywhere else.
