Kimmel Cancer Center Faculty

Sidney Kimmel and wife Caroline Kimmel

"The progress made against cancer is nothing short of amazing. Today’s advances save lives at a far faster pace than before. When it comes to cancer, we live longer, we diagnose sooner, we prevent better and advocate more strenuously. Still, there are a half million plus deaths a year, so we know our work is not done. This is a time of great research opportunity, and we must test the unknown to continue to make progress. Imagination is a beautiful thing. Can you imagine a world without cancer?”
