H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute is a nationally recognized hospital and research center for cancer prevention and treatment. It is one of only 38 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the U.S. At its location on the USF campus, more than 700 Moffitt scientists and clinicians oversee some 200 grant-supported research projects. A new Vincent A. Stabile Research Building opened last year, adding 200,000 square feet more laboratory space. Funded research projects totaled $53 million in 2003.



Moffitt is known for its landmark research discoveries in the area of functional genomics, molecular targeting, anti-cancer vaccines and genetic testing. A $3.2 million U.S. Department of Defense grant is helping establish the National Functional Genomics Center. Moffitt scientists are using functional genomics to profile cancer cells and examine how genes instruct cells to become normal or abnormal.
