THE PEOPLE AND SCIENCE BEHIND ILLUMINATION

On Thursday, April 17, Siteman Cancer Center research scientists and physicians discussed the journey from early-stage research to clinical trials to lifesaving patient outcomes—all of which are made possible through philanthropic investment in the Cancer Frontier Fund. 

The Cancer Frontier Fund was created in 2009 at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital by generous donors to accelerate innovative cancer research through early-stage investment. The purpose of Illumination is to build and strengthen partnerships in the shared fight against cancer.
