A Dream Fulfilled for Researchers
For researchers at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, the upcoming move to the second tower of the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research is much more than a mere relocation to a new facility on the health sciences campus at UW-Madison.
It will be the realization of a dream held by Dr. Harold Rusch, who founded the McArdle lab in 1940 as the first university-based basic science research facility focused solely on cancer. Read more |

The Story Continues to Take Shape
The second tower of the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research, scheduled for completion in 2013, will have seven floors devoted to discovery.
The second tower will feature research dedicated to heart and vascular disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, vision, cell and regenerative biology and cancer.
