The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation is a small nonprofit based in New York City focused on advancing cancer research. Its core approach centers on reprogramming cancer cells to behave like healthy cells, a strategy researchers have demonstrated can yield less toxic treatments capable of curing cancer. The organization emphasizes global collaboration among leading cancer researchers to identify common denominators across cancers and accelerate progress toward cures. Its explicit goal is to develop therapies for all cancer types and to eradicate the disease. In addition to its research work, the foundation hosts fundraising events in New York to support its mission. In 2022, SWCRF helped launch a collaborative research program with Mount Sinai's Tisch Cancer Institute to fund cross-institution work addressing aging-related cancer.
