Kansas City-based University of Kansas has received $36 million in federal funding to support research facilities within the University of Kansas Cancer Center, currently under construction.
“This funding will be transformational in its impact on our center as it will allow us to complete all the research floors in the building,” Roy Jensen, MD, vice chancellor and director of KU Cancer Center, said in a Jan. 28 news release from the University of Kansas.
The university began construction of the cancer center in May 2025 after receiving a $100 million gift from the Sunderland Foundation.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
