Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Kenneth C. Griffin Cancer Research Building represents a monumental step
forward in our mission to cure cancer. We have doubled our research capacity, illuminating the path from
laboratory discovery directly to the patient’s bedside.
This state-of-the-art facility is the region’s new hub for cancer innovation. By uniting the world's brightest
minds with our unique community, we are accelerating the development of life-saving therapies, getting us closer
to a cancer-free tomorrow.
Our scientists are making significant advances in four main research areas:
Tumor Biology, Cancer Epigenetics,
Translational Oncology and Cancer Control.
Everything comes together at Sylvester’s Griffin Cancer Research Building.
Our clinical trials program provides patients with early access to groundbreaking treatments, offering greater
hope for improved outcomes. As South Florida’s only NCI-designated cancer center, we have exclusive
opportunities to participate in National Clinical Trials Network studies that are not commonly available
elsewhere. We also lead Investigator-Initiated Trials, created by our experts to address community-specific
needs with new therapies only found here.
Clinical research at Sylvester’s Griffin Cancer Research Building is centralized. Patient care takes place on
floors 1 through 3, ensuring convenient access to essential services—including imaging, laboratory tests, clinic
appointments and support—all in one location.
