Please join us in raising crucial funds for COVID-19 research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center by making a gift today.
Our team is supporting Fred Hutch because their researchers are working on the front lines of this pandemic, racing to fast-track tests, find effective treatments, and develop vaccines to stop this disease.
HELP END THIS PANDEMIC AND PREVENT THE NEXT ONE
You likely know Fred Hutch for its cancer research, but Hutch scientists have been studying viruses for as long as they’ve been studying cancer — because cancer and our bodies’ defenses against infection are so closely linked.
The Hutch’s infectious disease research, rooted in decades of treating immunosuppressed cancer patients, has grown to encompass dozens of labs working across disciplines to reduce the burden of death and disease from infection. This deep expertise is an invaluable strength as the Hutch’s extraordinary scientists work with partners around the world to halt the spread of the coronavirus.
We want to end the devastating toll this disease has taken on our community’s health, stability, and prosperity — and we know you do, too. Let’s invest in the world-changing science that will get us there.
Please join us and donate today. Thank you!
To confront the pandemic head on, Hutch researchers are:
- Developing and evaluating rapid testing and point-of-care tests to increase availability and speed results.
- Studying antibodies in people infected with the coronavirus to inform new therapeutics and vaccines.
- Conducting clinical trials of already-approved antiviral drugs and novel agents.
- Developing vaccines that will provide lifetime protection no matter how many times the virus mutates.
- Studying how coronaviruses evolve to improve the ability of our immune system to defend against them.
