Wistar's Virtual Champion Run for Research 2020

The Wistar Institute is a leading independent research institute in Philadelphia with a mission to advance cures for cancer and infectious diseases. Wistar trainees (pre- and post-doctoral research fellows) play an essential role in the transformative research we do every day.

The Wistar Trainee Association is hosting a virtual 2-mile fun run/walk. All funds raised will directly support training, education, and the development of our next generation of biomedical researchers. Thank you for your support!
