Founder
H. Lee Moffitt recognized a need for a comprehensive cancer center in the state of Florida. In the late '70s, he suggested this idea to Dr. Hollis Boren and the then dean of the University of South Florida College of Medicine, and by the end of their lunch, both Dr. Boren and the dean agreed with Moffitt. Through community support and state funding, the center was able to open just a few years later, in 1983.

President & Chief Executive Officer
Dr. List is internationally recognized for his many contributions in the development of novel, more effective treatment strategies for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). His pioneering work led to the development of lenalidomide (Revlimid®) from the laboratory to clinical trials, which went on to receive fast-track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and approval for the treatment of patients with MDS and multiple myeloma. This work transformed the natural history of MDS from a premalignant condition that progressed to malignancy requiring aggressive treatment to a condition managed in the outpatient setting with oral agents.
