“Mr. Speaker, today Buffalo's Roswell Park Cancer Institute was awarded $33 million in new research grants from the National Institutes of Health. This funding will support research to develop new therapies for prostate cancer, for head and neck cancer, and to advance the great promise of immunotherapy, which is research to unleash the cancer- killing potential from the body's own immune system. Under the leadership of Dr. Candace Johnson, Roswell Park scientists are providing hope and the potential for healing to millions here and throughout the world. In Buffalo, the Roswell Park Cancer Institute is helping to fuel an economic renaissance that has captured the attention of the Nation. Nationally, the National Institutes of Health's funding supports over 400,000 good-paying American jobs.
