About us
Cancer has met its match
A World Where All Cancers Are Curable
Parker Institute is a tightly-woven, interconnected system of uncommon partners united by a common purpose. Our mission is to accelerate patient access to breakthrough cancer therapies, fostering collaboration and innovation from early-stage discovery through commercialization. We join forces with the brightest minds in cancer immunotherapy to radically change the way cancer research is done — and save more lives, more quickly.
A decade of immeasurable impact
Over the past decade, Parker Institute has helped transform a once-fringe field into one of the most promising frontiers in medicine. Since 2016, we’ve brought together leading researchers across institutions, advanced groundbreaking science, and accelerated immunotherapy treatments into clinical trials. We can count the projects we’ve funded and the trials we’ve launched — but our true collective impact is measured in the countless lives extended, or saved, because of our work and its far-reaching ripple effects.
A radical approach to advancing research
At Parker Institute, we’re not only working to wipe out cancer. We’re also an antidote to outdated approaches to medical research. We’re a nonprofit with a VC spirit, which means we move faster, take bigger risks, and make sure promising science doesn’t stall before it can reach patients. And we reinvest the proceeds from our big bets into more breakthroughs.
We believe one of the best ways to accelerate our progress is through relentless collaboration. While scientific research is traditionally done in isolation, we encourage cross-pollination between 140+ Parker-affiliated investigators working across 20+ labs.
Visionary Leadership
Parker Institute brings together mavericks and pioneers who believe every problem, no matter how complex, can be solved. Our dedicated board and leadership team comes from across academia and industry, each contributing their diverse expertise to our common fight.
