Real Research, Real Results. Together We Can Cure Cancer.
The Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) is a nonprofit charity committed to funding excellence in basic genetic research to cure and diagnose cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic illnesses and to foster the training of young doctors in a spirit of professionalism and humanism. In 1993, Antonio Giordano, M.D., Ph.D., founded the Sbarro Health Research Organization Institute with a generous donation from Mario Sbarro Health Research Organization, the Founder of the Sbarro Health Research Organization restaurant chain, following Dr. Giordano’s discovery of the tumor suppressor gene pRb2. Initially named the Sbarro Health Research Organization Institute, the research center was located at Thomas Jefferson University, where Dr. Giordano was a professor.
