Info

THE WORCESTER FOUNDATION FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization internationally recognized for its revolutionary contributions to biology and medicine. Among its best known contributions are the discovery and development of the birth control pill, the pioneering work that made in vitro fertilization possible, and the first systematic study of the anti-tumor actions of tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen drug that has subsequently revolutionized treatment of breast cancer. Initially an independent research institute, the Worcester Foundation for Biomedical Research merged with the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1997. Today, the Worcester Foundation is devoted to the support of basic biomedical research of the combined research enterprise, and to the education and training of tomorrow’s scientists.
