Ovarian Cancer Institue

Description

At the Ovarian Cancer Institute, we are dedicated to ovarian cancer awareness and funding ovarian cancer research. Our first-class research team includes world-renowned gynecologic oncologist Dr. Benedict Benigno and leading cancer researcher Dr. Jeffrey Skolnick. He seeks out researchers from other disciplines - engineering, nanotechnology, medicine, computer science and chemistry - to see if their work can apply to cancer research. This innovative fight to ovarian cancer research can only be provided at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

OCI was established with the mission of supporting promising new approaches to the early diagnosis and more effective treatment of ovarian cancer. The Institute seeks to fund the development of research strategies that have the potential to revolutionize the care of ovarian cancer patients. Such novel approaches are often considered "high risk" and thus not considered fundable by federal agencies. OCI is designed to fill this gap.
