THE WISTAR INSTITUTE has entered into an agreement with the Gene Editing Institute at Christiana Care’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, expanding their previous partnership established in 2011.
The Gene Editing Institute will be integrated into Wistar’s Molecular Screening Facility. The Gene Editing Institute will retain its management structure and will remain located at the Graham Cancer Center on the Christiana Hospital Campus in Newark, Del. The Molecular Screening Facility will remain housed at Wistar in Philadelphia. According to the two organizations, they have already begun scientific collaborations involving research on melanoma and lung cancer. The previous partnership was the first inter-institutional affiliation between an NCI-designated basic research institution and a community cancer center.
