Toot-Toot Shoes > About The Ovarian Cancer Institute

Ovarian Cancer Institute was founded in 1999 by Dr. Benedict Benigno and is dedicated to researching cancer of the ovaries. The primary mission of the OCI is to develop innovative research leading to earlier detection and more effective treatment of ovarian cancer and to educate and heighten awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and treatment options.

The Ovarian Cancer Institute and the OCI Research Laboratories are both located at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia and are directed by Dr. John McDonald, Professor and Chair of the School of Biology at Georgia Tech.

With the help of Dr. Benigno, Dr. McDonald and all of the research staff, it is our hope that, one day, there will be a total cure for ovarian cancer that will open up new opportunities to rid our society of this and many other world wide diseases.
