\n<\/TABLE>Founded with funds from the Eugene C. Eppley Foundation, National Institutes of Health and the University of Nebraska, the institute has for half-a-century been a place where researchers work to understand cancer and improve its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. <\/p>\n

The institute was initially part of the College of Medicine but in 1972, it became an independent research institute that fell under the jurisdiction of the UNMC chancellor. <\/p>\n

Today the institute employs 31 faculty members who conduct cutting-edge basic and translational cancer research.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
