Cancer Research, Ignited

We’ve broken down silos, forged strategic partnerships and fostered collaboration so our researchers can work smarter – and faster. In a short amount of time, we’ve accomplished a lot.

In our model, funding and science work together. Philanthropic funds are fortified: each donor dollar is highly leveraged for maximum impact for the benefit of patients. Funds directly fuel scientific discoveries and clinical trials. They support our in-house teams to accelerate the science at every step. When we’re successful, revenue returns flow back into the PICI system and our research priorities. The result: treatments for patients and reinvestment into our research model. Learn about our mission and vision.

Transformative science requires bold philanthropy to propel the next big breakthroughs

Sean Parker launched PICI and catalyzed our significant, early successes, transforming cancer research and treatment. Yet, long-term progress isn’t sustained through the efforts of just one individual or one institution. It takes many to truly accelerate the field and shift the paradigm. PICI is poised on the threshold of the next big breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy. For us to truly hack cancer, we need additional visionary philanthropists to bring future discoveries and cures to patients more rapidly. Together, we can make all cancers curable.
