Cattlemen for Cancer research

The Michale E. Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research in Bastrop makes important contributions to the understanding and prevention of cancer through comparative research in animal models. This center of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center both supports research scientists at M. D. Anderson and conducts independent research to increase our understanding of the biological and behavioral processes that lie at the heart of cancer. The Keeling Center is recognized nationally for the high quality, specially developed animals produced for medical research. Since the most significant advances in cancer care and prevention have resulted from research involving laboratory animals, the work of the Keeling Center is critical to M. D. Anderson's mission of eliminating cancer in Texas, the nation and the world.

The Michale E. Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research is grateful to Cattlemen for Cancer Research for engaging the Central Texas community to help fund the important cancer research conducted in Bastrop. Every year, meaningful research projects come to life thanks to the community-spirited effort to overcome cancer. Together with the faculty and staff of the Keeling Center, we are Making Cancer History®.
