All proceeds from The 2021 Sohn Investment Conference will be directed to Rockefeller University, which will provide unrestricted funding for scientists working on some of the highest-risk, highest-reward projects primed to advance the treatment of pediatric cancer as well as other public health priorities.
Rockefeller University was founded in 1901 to improve the understanding of life for the benefit of humanity. Today, it is one of the world’s leading biomedical research institutions. Rockefeller scientists have garnered 25 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry or Medicine, a number that would rank the institution as fourth in the world if it was its own country. We’re excited to come together to support Rockefeller’s culture of excellence, which is unrivaled among research institutions worldwide.
