“This money will have a substantial impact in the fight against cancer,” said Ronald DePinho, MD, president of M.D. Anderson, said in the report. “It will allow us to establish world-leading capabilities in areas of tremendous unmet needs, areas that ordinarily are very difficult to secure funding for.”
