The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is a nonprofit based in New York City that focuses on advancing cancer immunotherapy through rigorous science and broad collaboration. Founded in 1953, CRI funds research across the spectrum—from fundamental immunology to clinical translation—and maintains a global ecosystem that supports early-career investigators and collaboration among academia, biotech, and industry. Its work aims to translate findings into clinical impact through data-driven approaches. The organization serves researchers and the wider scientific community working on immunotherapy, with patients benefiting from advances that follow. A recent development involves a January 2026 collaboration with 10x Genomics and leading medical centers to launch an open immunotherapy research database designed to study immune responses over time and address reproducibility and data gaps.
