Description

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) has been at the forefront of oncological research, treatment and care, and innovation for decades. DFCI’s commitment to reducing the burden of cancer through high quality clinical care and cutting-edge research knows no boundaries, including international borders. As international collaborations and partnerships have expanded across various departments at Dana-Farber there is a growing need to align the mission, vision and implementation of these initiatives under a broader umbrella.
