Philanthropy that Fuels Hope

The Nobel Laureates Circle recognizes visionary donors whose cumulative gifts to Fred Hutch total $1 million or more. Your philanthropic leadership is fueling extraordinary advances in preventing, detecting, treating and curing cancer and infectious disease.
 

Nobel Prize–Winning Science

The Nobel Laureates Circle is named in honor of our Nobel Prize recipients: E. Donnall Thomas, MD, (1990), Lee Hartwell, PhD, (2001) and Linda Buck, PhD, (2004). Each received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and further cemented Fred Hutch’s reputation for scientific innovation and excellence.

Unlocking the Potential of AI

Fred Hutch leads the Cancer AI Alliance, a first-of-its-kind partnership — across cancer centers, research disciplines, and industries — to use leading-edge artificial intelligence technology to find patterns and possibilities that could lead to truly revolutionary breakthroughs. It’s made possible by philanthropic support.
