Salk’s Conquering Cancer Initiative is a scientific and philanthropic initiative to bring together scientists in collaboration to harness new strategies against five deadly cancers: pancreatic, ovarian, lung, brain (glioblastoma) and triple negative breast. Together, Salk researchers will identify cancer’s vulnerabilities and find new methods to attack tumors and leave healthy tissues alone.
For eleven consecutive times, the Salk Institute has earned
the highest possible ranking from Charity Navigator, America’s largest
independent charity and nonprofit evaluator. This exceptional
designation is awarded to only 2 percent of over 10,000 nonprofits
evaluated, indicating the Institute’s exceptional fiscal accountability
and transparency.
