Sloan Kettering Institute
The Sloan Kettering Institute (SKI) is the experimental research division of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York City. Founded in 1945, SKI conducts basic and translational research focused on understanding the biology of cancer and developing new therapeutic approaches. Its work spans molecular biology, immunology, genetics, structural biology, computational biology, and cancer metabolism, with scientists collaborating closely with clinicians to move discoveries from the laboratory to patient care. SKI is not an independent university; it operates primarily as a private biomedical research institute and also trains graduate students and postdoctoral researchers through affiliated programs such as the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
