The donation from Lansing, Mich., residents James and Judith Hebert will establish the Genomics Endowment for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer and provide the funding for a new director of cancer genomics.
“Cancer genomics is the future,” James Herman, MD, the Lansing, Mich. based-system’s cancer center leader, told WILX 10. “Genomics play an increasing role in diagnosis and treatment. This incredible gift to the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center by the Herbert family will ensure that patients continue to have the best cancer care close to home and receive leading-edge care equivalent to anywhere in the nation.”
