Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center

Research program: fred hutch researchers have advanced human understanding across a wide range of areas, reflecting the breadth and depth of expertise at fred hutch that allows us to develop potential cures for cancer and infectious diseases. Our teams also applied artificial intelligence and other novel approaches to match existing treatments to diagnoses or better understand how cancer may be impacting individuals in different ways.fred hutch scientists are producing some of the most important breakthroughs in the prevention, early detection and treatment of cancer, hiv and other diseases. Our scientists study every aspect of the disease process to uncover factors that influence disease risk and progression. Fred hutch has been home to three nobel laureates, and our faculty includes more than 400 renowned researchers who collaborate with colleagues across the globe and mentor the next generation of scientific innovators. Our scientists conduct research on and develop therapies for many cancers including blood cancers and solid tumors as well as for hiv and other nonmalignant diseases. They study the disease process from every angle, from the most basic molecular and cellular levels to the population level. Their goals are to uncover the factors that influence a person's likelihood of developing and surviving a disease and use this knowledge to reduce risk, save lives and improve quality of life. Fred hutch researchers are experts in understanding the development of blood and solid tumor cancers as well as identifying new ways to diagnose, prevent and treat cancers. Their research includes a wide area of topics that affect cancer and infectious diseases such as behavioral research, cell and gene therapy, data science, disease prevention, health economics, virology, and more. In fy24, fred hutch researchers published 1,330 research articles and 48 patents were granted to fred hutch. Fred hutch research programs integrate the latest in computational, laboratory and patient-oriented clinical research methods to better understand the mechanisms that drive cancer and other human diseases. Our researchers are continually developing new therapeutic approaches and they develop and lead clinical trials that help move laboratory discoveries into new treatment options for patients. Our discoveries, which include proving that bone marrow transplantation can cure leukemias and other blood cancers, have saved more than a million lives worldwide.
