A transformational commitment by Stuart Sloan and his wife Molly Sloan of $78M to establish the Stuart and Molly Sloan Precision Oncology Institute at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center aims to help researchers fulfill the early promise of precision oncology. The largest single gift in Fred Hutch’s 47-year history will go toward the recruitment of an institute director and scientific programs that will aim to spark innovative new discoveries, and a new building to house the critical laboratory space in which those discoveries will be made.
