Translational Research

As part of an elite group of National Cancer Institute (NCI) -Comprehensive Cancer Centers, Moffitt focuses on the development of early stage translational research aimed at the rapid translation of scientific discoveries to benefit patient care.

Tradition of excellence

Since the first patient admission in October 1986, Moffitt physicians, scientists and staff members have worked together to establish a tradition of excellence offered in an atmosphere characterized by kindness, caring and hope. The Cancer Center's future growth in clinical care and research rests firmly on this tradition and makes possible the changes ahead.
