CRI's generous and continued support of our research in cancer immunology and cancer immunotherapy helped us to establish a sustainable clinical research and teaching/training program in the field. New students and young researchers were introduced to the field as MD/PhD students and young faculty. CRI's CVC helped to establish a Clinical Trials Center at the University of Zurich. Ultra-lean management and great communication skills with an outstanding scientific faculty advising characterize CRI's success as a non-profit organization focused on Cancer Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy.
