Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation Announces 2026 Research Grant Recipients
For two decades, the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation has empowered a new generation of researchers dedicated to one mission: researching and discovering the treatments needed to one day conquer breast cancer.
To date, we have supported 67 grant recipient researchers, scientists and physicians and we proudly designate these individuals as Foundation Fellows in recognition of their pivotal impact in the field and their enduring commitment to research, science, and patient care. Our Foundation maintains rigorous standards for our awardees and their institutions: 100% of gross funds must be directed toward high-impact clinical research focused on breast cancer therapeutics.
We are excited to announce the awarding of six Foundation Fellows, the highest number in the history of the Foundation, resulting from the passion and commitment of our supporters in raising money in our 20th anniversary year.
In a world with persistent obstacles, stories of progress are a welcome light. It is a joy to share the story of a grassroots foundation’s perseverance—empowering young scientists and providing a genuine sense of hope for the future.
It is with great pride and excitement that we introduce the 2026 TBBCF Fellowship recipients:
Alexandra Indeglia is the recipient of the Sharon Boulanger Memorial Grant, established by Norm Boulanger and Stacy Tattar, which honors the memory of Norm’s late wife and her courageous battle with triple-negative breast cancer. Dr. Indeglia will be the keynote speaker at our 20th annual meeting on May 4, 2026.
Nicholas Saccomano, PhD, Chair of the TBBCF Scientific Advisory Board shared, “It has been rewarding, over the years, to recognize that the clinical relevance and patient focus of the submitted research proposals continue to set a very high bar for applicants and grantees; 2026 especially so. The grant applications, in aggregate over this time, paint a vivid picture of how science, technology and medicine are marching closer to answers for our questions and cures for the patients. The Foundation, thankfully, finds itself in the midst of, and what we hope is, a part of this progress.”
