One vision —
a cancer-free future.
Unlike surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, cell and gene therapies harness the power of your immune system to destroy cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. We fund the research that will make this vision a reality.
6 important cancer-fighting elements of our immune system
The term "immune system" is mentioned a lot. Do you know the different parts and how they protect us from diseases?
Relationship between cell and gene therapy and the blood-brain barrier and
The blood-brain barrier can impede immune cells and treatment from reaching brain tumors, but there are ways around this wall.

Participate in annual Wendy Walk in-person or virtually to support crucial sarcoma cancer research and studies.
An explanation of gene therapy for cancer
What exactly is gene therapy for cancer? How is gene therapy is used to treat cancer, and what are the types of gene therapy and steps patients go through for treatment?
Our direct impact on eradicating all cancer.
