Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at UH Hilo
“I give you my personal assurance there is no better investment to be made. Every gift will continue giving for years into the future. Mahalo.”
—Prof. John M. Pezzuto, Dean, Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy
Since enrolling the first class of student pharmacists in 2007, the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy has met or exceeded all expectations.
DKICP Focus on Cancer Research
Every year, the number of deaths due to cancer adds up to more than five times the entire population of the State of Hawai‘i. Between the ravages of the condition itself and the side effects of the treatments, as well as the countless hours or consternation, the disease inserts itself in essentially every aspect of an entire family’s existence.
Researchers at the DKICP are discovering more about the fundamentals of cancer, how to prevent it and ways to improve treatment. Led by Founding Dean John Pezzuto, who is well known for the discovery of the cancer-preventive component in grapes and grape products, they explain what they’re working on, as well as their hopes for the future.
