History The Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine was founded in 1993 by Antonio Giordano, MD, Ph.D. with the generous contributions of Mario Sbarro, owner of Sbarro, Inc., an internationally successful fast food chain. Initially, it was affiliated with Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2002, scientists supported by the Institute forged a three-year alliance with Temple University. Under the new arrangement, the original Sbarro Institute was renamed the Sbarro Health Research Organization, Inc. (SHRO), which today funds the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine at Temple. Under a new agreement with the University in 2005, the Institute received continued funding from Temple, while expanding its program to include work on the relationship between obesity and cancer and a new program on molecular therapeutics, which will explore how molecular genetic research can be applied to patient therapies and diagnostics. |
