Princeton will collaborate with The Rockefeller University, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research on the new Weill Cancer Hub East, a research initiative “dedicated to making immunotherapy more effective for cancer patients,” the University announced in late March. The hub is backed by $125 million of philanthropic funding, including a $50 million gift from the Weill Family Foundation and contributions from the four partner institutions. Chemistry professor Joshua Rabinowitz will direct Princeton’s role in the hub.
