The Wistar Institute broke ground on a US$100 million expansion that “will ensure its future at the forefront of cancer research and vaccine development,” and announced a companion five-year, US$35 million capital campaign: Building Wistar, Changing the World.  Wistar President and CEO Russel E. Kaufman, M.D. commented, “At a time when biomedical research is advancing at a lightning pace, The Wistar Institute finds itself constrained by aging facilities designed for 19th and 20th century science. We designed our new building specifically to foster interactions between researchers in the kinds of multidisciplinary collaborations that spark innovation and drive results.” http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110923005054/en/Wistar-Institute-Breaks-Ground-100-Million-Expansion
