Endowed Professorship
Bob Geer created the Donna M. Tomky and Robert W. Geer Professorship in Ovarian Cancer Research in honor of his wife and the care she received at the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center celebrated many achievements in 2023, all thanks to our leadership, clinic and research teams. We're proud to be able to offer the finest cancer care to all New Mexicans.
We invite you to join us in our building of hope for the future of cancer research and treatment by becoming a donor to the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center. With the continuing support of the community, the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center is dedicated to curing cancer by:
- Conducting world class research in our laboratories, clinics, and communities
- Reducing cancer health care disparities in our populations
- Educating the next generation of cancer health care professionals
- Delivering state of the art cancer treatment to all New Mexicans
A gift comes in many forms: a cash donation, attending and helping support special events, leaving a bequest to the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center, or getting your company to match the funds you give to the Cancer Center. Financial gifts strengthen the center's opportunities to pursue research that leads to top-quality patient cancer care.
Donations to The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center are the primary source of pilot funding for our cancer scientists. Pilot funding enables our scientists to investigate new scientific ideas to detect, prevent, or treat cancer. Thank you for helping us work toward a cancer-free future.
The UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center leads the state in bringing cancer clinical trials to all New Mexicans. Clinical trials enable scientists and physicians to improve cancer care, and some people on a clinical trial may be able to try some of the newest cancer treatments that hold the greatest promise. Meet a few of our patients and the impact the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center has had on their lives.
