Nile Albright Research Foundation

The Advanced Medical Research Foundation (AMRF) was established in 1974 to help discover and pursue better techniques to diagnose and treat cancer. Honoring Dr. Albright's lifelong commitment to cancer research, the newly renamed Nile Albright Research Foundation is distinct in the broad range of its support across industry sectors; from hospital to university, from bedside to classroom. With metro-Boston focus and global presentation in scientific journals, our labs house some of the worlds finest scientific minds in cancer research.

Many Laboratories. One Cause.

Our Research Focus

Stem Cells

We specialize in research in this rapidly changing field of human cancer stem cells.

Pelvic Cancers

The epithelial and stromal cell function are our focus in that they help us understand the formation of pelvic cancers.

Precision Nanotheranostics

Our colleagues at Children's Hospital have discovered patterns in over 33 matrix metallo proteases (MMP’s).

Anti-Cancer Therapeutics

Improving cancer treatment by normalizing the tumor microenvironment.

Gynecologic Malignancies

Our research seeks to improve methods of prevention, early detection, biological and genetic understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of ovarian cancer.
