City of Hope shared on LinkedIn:
“We are proud to share an $11 million gift from the Simms/Mann Institute and Foundation that will help City of Hope advance the future of personalized cancer care.
The transformational gift will endow the Simms/Mann Family Foundation Precision Oncology Program in Southern California and establish two endowed chairs: the Simms/Mann Family Foundation Chair in Cancer Microbiome Research, to be held by Rob Jenq, director of the City of Hope Microbiome Program, and the Simms/Mann Family Foundation Chair in Clinical Cancer Genomics, for which a leader will be recruited.
Together, these investments will provide enduring support for research across genomics, artificial intelligence and microbiome science, bringing rapidly evolving fields together to create new possibilities for more individualized cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
