Main Line Health

Biomedical research division advancing cancer science

Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR) is the research division of Main Line Health that conducts cancer and biomedical research and translates basic science into clinical applications. LIMR studies cell growth and cancer biology, develops discoveries in the lab, and collaborates to move findings into patient care within the health system. It differs from other research centers by its long history as one of the first U.S. cancer-focused institutes, its integration within a hospital-based health system, and its track record of translational research—turning lab findings into clinical therapies and practices. The institute aims to improve patient outcomes by turning basic science into usable medical treatments and interventions for cancer and related diseases.
