When it comes to finding a cure for cancer, NFCR believes in discovery-oriented scientific research - that in order to fully conquer this devastating disease, we need to encourage innovative scientists to study cancer at its most fundamental level. We understand that to reach this goal, research in diverse fields needs to be conducted simultaneously. That is why, since 1973, we have dedicated ourselves to providing flexible funding to scientists from various disciplines such as math, physics, biology, and chemistry, and encouraging collaboration.

By enabling our scientists to share discoveries and research progress - by providing this "Laboratory Without Walls" - NFCR unites the best minds and the most forward-looking research in the fight against cancer, and paves the way for better prevention strategies, earlier diagnostic techniques, and new anti-cancer drugs and treatments.
