- The McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research (also the Department of Oncology of
the University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School) was founded by Dr. Harold
P. Rusch in 1940 and was the first basic science cancer center in an academic
institution in the United States. The central mission of the McArdle Laboratory
for Cancer Research is twofold:
1.To pursue outstanding research programs directed toward understanding the
causes and biology of cancer and the factors that regulate normal and
neoplastic growth and differentiation.
2. To provide training of the highest quality in basic cancer research at the
graduate and postdoctoral levels.
