HORMEL INSTITUTE

The Hormel Institute is an independent biomedical research facility within the University of Minnesota's Research and Innovation Office (RIO) located in rural Austin, Minnesota. With the goal of improving health and extending lives worldwide, our world-class scientists use cutting-edge technology to explore innovative questions that drive discovery forward... In the early 2000s, under the direction of Harald Schmid, The Hormel Institute shifted its focus to researching cancer and other chronic diseases. Today, The Hormel Institute is focused on "Cancer+" - the study of cancer and cancer-related diseases from every angle. Cancer is not a one-size-fits-all disease, and investigators at The Hormel Institute do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to research... Originating from humble beginnings in a renovated horse stable, The Hormel Institute has always been a curious place for discovery.
