What makes Emory Winship different?
In a word, focus. Emory Winship is first in Georgia to become a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center. Sights are set on how to best apply the latest findings in cancer research to the treatment of the many types of cancer, right now and in the future. This is called translational research, a way of taking the latest discoveries and putting them to work as quickly as possible to treat people with all types of cancer. The people at Emory Winship maintain focus by recruiting and retaining some of the world’s most eminent researchers and physicians. These are brilliant, dedicated individuals who work in teams to explore new approaches and therapies to make Emory Winship Cancer Institute a “team of teams.” As an organization, these teams have the flexibility, freedom and support to accelerate their efforts.
