The Wistar Institute and Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City Announces Friendly Super Bowl Wager between the Two Biomedical Research Institutes

The Wistar Institute have made a friendly wager with Stowers Institute for Medical Research that our Philadelphia Eagles will dominate the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57. We have put Philly’s famous food where our mouths are for this bet and are excited and can’t wait to get some of that Kansas City BBQ when the Eagles reign supreme. The Wistar Institute is a global leader in cancer, immunology and infectious disease research, and vaccine development, but we always have time for some friendly competitiveness on the national football stage.

“I’ve heard so much about Kansas City BBQ. This will be quite an experience,” said Dario Altieri, M.D., president & CEO, director of the Ellen and Ronald Caplan Cancer Center, and Robert and Penny Fox Distinguished Professor.

The Wistar Institute is delighted to taste Kansas City BBQ. It’s a Philly Thing.

WHEN:
Throughout the day, Wistar will be posting social media messages with Stowers using the hashtag #InstituteBowl23.
