Where in the World are the TBBCF Fellows

‘We have started the breast cancer research careers of more than 65 brilliant young scientists.’

The first year of awards in 2007 saw four researchers funded. Associated with U.S.-based institutions, young scientists conducting breast cancer research came from Seoul, South Korea; Greenville, North Carolina; Rajasthan, India and Boston, Massachusetts.

“What’s amazing about the TBBCF fellowships is the global impact fellows have had in breast cancer research around the world,” said John LaMattina, the Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board co-chair.

Fellows have come from Peking, China; Nice, France; Ankara, Turkey, and from all over the Northeast; parts of the South and Mid-Atlantic; and on the West Coast, Seattle, Washington, and Stanford, California.

The Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation’s pledge has always been to confer 100 percent of gross fundraising dollars to support scientific breast cancer research. The Foundation’s Grant Program funds clinical and pre-clinical fellowships in high-impact, breast cancer therapeutic research areas.

“Thanks to our walkers, we have started the breast cancer research careers of 65 brilliant young scientists,” said LaMattina, a former president of Pfizer Global Research and Development.
