Penn alumni Mindy and Jon Gray have gifted $55 million to the University of Pennsylvania’s Basser Center for BRCA at the Abramson Cancer Center to establish the Basser Cancer Interception Institute, which aims to target hereditary cancers at their earliest stages.
Robert Schnoll, Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center’s associate director for population science, was named the John H. Glick, MD Professor in Cancer Research. Schnoll is also the director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Nicotine Addiction, a senior fellow in the Penn Center for Public Health, and co-director of the Community Research and Engagement Core at the Penn Center for AIDS Research.
