City of Hope

Founded in 1913, City of Hope is one of only 50 comprehensive cancer centers in the nation, as designated by the National Cancer Institute. The organization’s role as a leader in patient care, basic and clinical research, and the translation of science into tangible benefit is widely acknowledged. Every discovery City of Hope makes—and every new treatment it creates—gives people the chance to live longer, better, and more fully. As an institution dedicated to fighting cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases, City of Hope is addressing the novel coronavirus threat on a number of fronts, including the preclinical development of a COVID-19 vaccine.
