The Basser Center for BRCA at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center is celebrating its 10-year anniversary and its success in changing how families live with inherited cancers. Ten years of growth, under the leadership of Executive Director Susan Domchek, MD, and visionary guidance and philanthropic dedication of founders Mindy and Jon Gray, has made Penn the global leader in BRCA-related research.
Today, the Basser Center is doubling down on its mission to dramatically advance the field once again. The Grays’ new transformative gift of $55 million to establish the Basser Cancer Interception Institute now launches the Center into its next 10 years of powerful advancement. This institute aims to do nothing less than disrupt the timeline of cancer treatment. Look for continuing coverage of these innovative efforts in future issues of Penn Medicine magazine.
