Former Citigroup CEO Sandy Weill donated $50 million to establish the Weill Cancer Hub East, focusing on nutrition and metabolism research for cancer treatments. The partnership includes experts from Princeton, Rockefeller, Weill Cornell, and the Ludwig Institute. Weill’s foundation has now gifted over $1 billion to nonprofits, aiming to improve patient care. The hub will investigate how nutrition and microbiomes impact immunotherapy and emerging cancer treatments, with a focus on “reprogramming” the tumor microenvironment. Dr. Robert Harrington of Weill Cornell Medicine highlights the importance of increasing immunotherapy effectiveness across all cancer types and patients. The Weill Family Foundation previously established the Weill Neurohub in 2019 to develop treatments for neurological and psychiatric diseases.
