With $20 million in NIH funding and an expansive clinical network, WCI is well positioned to develop and deliver life-saving discoveries to people in the Rochester region and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>As we continue to pursue progressive cancer treatments, we must invest $50 million to recruit and retain the best and brightest faculty, fund promising research projects, foster collaborative science, and advance clinical trials. WCI research benefits people of all ages, including the thousands of pediatric patients treated at our Golisano Children\u2019s Hospital each year.<\/p>\n<p>This strategic investment in talented people and promising programs will elevate WCI to the ranks of other leading cancer centers in the country and lead to a future in which more patients are not only surviving cancer, but living fuller lives after treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Musculoskeletal Institute<\/strong><br \/>\nOur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/orthopaedics\/\">Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation<\/a> is dedicated to, and passionate about, reducing the incidence of musculoskeletal disease and injury and the burden they place on people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>We have one of the country\u2019s foremost musculoskeletal research programs, outstanding comprehensive care teams, and one of the largest and best training programs for New York\u2019s young surgeons. We offer 20 clinical programs, many of which drive national care standards.<\/p>\n<p>The University plans to launch a new Musculoskeletal Institute that will leverage this interdisciplinary expertise. By combining our strengths in musculoskeletal research, clinical care, and education with the medical, engineering, and data science resources across the University, we will make new treatments a reality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;75px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ededed&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_id=&#8221;priorities&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Other Priorities<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1519824884364{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45006 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/43256_priorities_faculty_body.png\" alt=\"john foxe speaking\" width=\"1502\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/43256_priorities_faculty_body.png 1502w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/43256_priorities_faculty_body-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/43256_priorities_faculty_body-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/43256_priorities_faculty_body-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/43256_priorities_faculty_body-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527261548458{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;card-panel&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #fbc12a;\">Faculty<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our faculty take on the wicked problems of the world, fearlessly.
