Memorial Cancer Institute/FAU Designated ‘Cancer Center of Excellence’

FAU’s recently formed research partnership with Memorial Healthcare System is already being recognized for quality care, results, and advances in research. The alliance between Memorial’s Cancer Institute and FAU (MCIFAU) has been recognized by the state’s Department of Health as a “Florida Cancer Center of Excellence.”

MCIFAU is just the fifth Cancer Center of Excellence in the state, selected from a pool of more than 80 competitors, to earn the designation. MCIFAU was formed in 2020 to combine the expertise of physicians and researchers under Memorial Cancer Institute, the Office of Human Research at Memorial Healthcare System and FAU’s clinicians and researchers to bring clinical trials that will lead to advances in patient care and treatments for a variety of cancers.

We are extremely proud of our designation as a Florida Cancer Center of Excellence and we greatly appreciate this recognition from Gov. Ron DeSantis. By combining the vast knowledge, expertise and resources of both of our organizations, MCIFAU will help to accelerate lifesaving cancer research, clinical trials, patient care, and education in Florida and beyond.
