Israel Cancer Research Fund

Behind Vanderbilt Avenue’s glass doors, Israel Cancer Research Fund backs labs and scientists chasing tomorrow’s therapies. Basic science crowds narrow conference rooms here, untangling mutations and testing inhibitors before any patient ever sees a trial. Among the whiteboards and spreadsheets, statistical geneticists crunch data from cohorts across three continents, looking for patterns others overlook.

In the 1400 block of midtown’s high-rise corridor you’ll find them at 52 Vanderbilt Ave #1410, New York, NY 10017. The elevator ride up to suite 1410 is short, the walk from Grand Central barely longer. Neighbors include financial towers and a midtown hotel row, but the charity’s windows face north, away from street noise.

To coordinate grants, fellowships, or upcoming lectures, dial (212) 969-9800. Directions are mapped precisely here. Once you reach the suite, the sign on the door is the only marker you need.
