The University of Kansas Cancer Center will be a translational cancer facility purpose-built to advance and deliver cutting-edge cellular therapies. Designed to integrate research and clinical care, the new building will serve as a hub for Bone Marrow Transplant, immunotherapy, apheresis, and cell processing. Every element of the patient experience—from diagnostics and treatment to imaging, pathology, nutrition counseling, and social work—will take place in a single, coordinated environment.

The facility will expand access to innovative therapies developed on site, including CAR T-cell therapy, which reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack cancer. The Cancer Center is the only center in the region offering all seven FDA-approved CAR T-cell therapies. A dedicated Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) lab will enable in-house cell production, reducing treatment delays and supporting the rapid deployment of clinical advances.

With researchers, physicians, and clinical teams working side by side, the center is designed for real-time collaboration on personalized care plans. This seamless integration of science and care will accelerate the translation of research into outcomes that matter for patients.
The new Cancer Center reflects KU’s continued commitment to excellence and reinforces its position as a national leader in cellular therapy and translational cancer care.
