 A
Place for Discovery
The William and Iffath Hoskins Center for Biomedical
Research opened on the Memorial Health campus in Savannah, Ga., in 2006.
The facility is named in honor of William Hoskins, a renowned gynecologic
oncologist, and his wife, Iffath, a respected obstetrician and gynecologist.
William Hoskins was recruited by Memorial Health in
2001 to help build and expand the organization's cancer program. He was
previously at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Throughout his career, William Hoskins developed groundbreaking techniques
in the treatment of ovarian cancer. His innovative treatment methods served
as a benchmark for other physicians around the world. He currently serves
as the senior vice president of oncology and research at Memorial Health.
Iffath Hoskins is an accomplished obstetrician for high-risk patients
and the former director of women's services at Memorial Health.
 The Hoskins Center is a 60,000 square foot facility
dedicated to cancer research and academic medicine. It includes a laboratory
research program, a diagnostic molecular genetics program, and classroom
space for six physician residency training programs. Scientists working
within the Hoskins Center strive to move their findings from the laboratory
to the patient bedside within five years, a process known as translational
research. This is one of only a few facilities in the country conducting
translational research on the molecular genetics of cancer.
