Gateway for Cancer Research is a Chicago, Illinois-based nonprofit organization focused on advancing cancer care by keeping patients at the center of its work. Founded in 1991, it brings together researchers, physicians, supporters, and patients to propel the development of new cancer therapies, with a particular emphasis on early-stage trials for rare and underfunded cancers. Through funding early-phase clinical studies, the organization aims to bring promising treatments to patients when it matters most. Its work spans international collaborations and trial sites, reflecting a global reach in its efforts to advance cancer care. In April 2026, Gateway for Cancer Research named Peter J. Steele as Chief Executive Officer, following a nationwide search.
