About Us

The University of Vermont (UVM) Cancer Center was founded in 1974. The Center is a not-for-profit organization administratively located at the Larner College of Medicine with clinical partnerships across the University of Vermont Health Network and beyond.

Who we are, what we do, why it matters

Our purpose:

The cancer center is a research institute, an educational entity, a community organization, and a clinical care facility all in one! Our "four pillars" - research, education, community outreach, and clinical care - support the mission of the Center.

Our mission:

To reduce the burden of cancer in Vermont, northeastern New York and across northern New England through research, outstanding clinical care, community outreach, and education, with a special emphasis on improving outcomes for rural residents. 

Our vision:

We believe that by working together, our affiliated members, clinicians, scientists, and community stakeholders will be leaders in facilitating transdisciplinary discovery and eliminating differences in cancer occurrence and outcomes in Vermont, northeastern New York, and across northern New England.

The University of Vermont is known for its ‘humble superstars.’ Pitchfest is a forum to shine a light on the impactful research happening across the cancer center and for University of Vermont Cancer Center members to practice their pitch. 

At least one investigator—or more—will receive the full support of the University of Vermont, Larner College of Medicine, and UVM Cancer Center communications teams for the ultimate pitch—to bring their research to a national audience.

We’re looking for work that's addressing a major problem related to cancer, investigators who are tackling this issue in a new or unique way, and research that has the potential to save lives or advance science.
