The AACR has been a valued customer of HighWire for over a decade, and has continued to grow and scale its use of services over that time - including trail-blazing use of HighWire Analytics, Code Ocean integration, and the addition of the AACR’s ninth journal – Blood Cancer Discovery - in late 2019.

HighWire is immensely proud to continue to support and enable the dissemination of knowledge and research findings for the AACR, the first and largest cancer research organization dedicated to accelerating the conquest of cancer.
