RGICR

The Rumbaugh-Goodwin Institute for Cancer Research, Inc. (RGI), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1959 and is located in Plantation, FL, just outside of Fort Lauderdale. RGI was merged with the Health Professions Division (HPD) of Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in February of 2005. Since the merger RGI has been steadily expanding its programs and research activities. RGI is committed to rapidly developing anti-cancer therapies, in conjunction with industrial and academic partners, using efficient models of cancer growth and metastasis with the aim of moving novel compounds to market in the shortest time possible. Additionally, RGI is investigating 1) why cancer becomes resistant to chemotherapy over time, 2) how this resistance can be overcome, 3) which chemotherapeutic agents are most likely to work in an individual with particular genetic make-up and 4) what causes cancer to grow aggressively and spread. The Institute's main goal is to develop newer cancer..
