Clinical Research for a cure tomorrow

The Swiss Cancer Institute – formerly known as SAKK – proudly unveils its new name and bold visual identity. This transformation marks a new chapter for the national organization for clinical cancer research in Switzerland, underlining our dynamic evolution and compelling vision for the future.
As a research institution of national importance, officially recognized by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), we remain fully committed to independent, practice-oriented clinical cancer research. Grounded in curiosity, accountability, and appreciation, the Swiss Cancer Institute is deeply rooted in Switzerland – and globally connected.

We uphold the highest standards in clinical research and foster close, trusted collaboration within a strong network of leading Swiss hospitals. Our consistent commitment to sustainable funding is essential to securing long-term progress in oncology – so that patients gain faster access to the best possible therapies, today and tomorrow.

Modern, Bold, and Forward-Thinking

Our new brand identity reflects who we are and what we stand for – a modern, innovative research institute with a clear purpose. It strengthens our presence within the scientific community and enhances our visibility to the public.
