The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center (KCC) was founded in 1991 with approximately 30 investigators in the basic sciences. Today, the KCC has approximately 150 members that include physicians and scientists dedicated to the discovery and development of novel approaches for cancer treatment.

The mission of the Kimmel Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center, is to increase the survival and quality of life of cancer patients by translating laboratory discoveries into new strategies to prevent, diagnose, monitor, and cure human cancer. A major focus of the KCC is in translating the discoveries in the genetics, cell biology biochemistry, structural biology pharmacology, and immunology of cancer made at the Center into novel modalities for prevention and treatment.
