– Regina English, Executive Director
“I have proudly served as Chair of National Cancer Center’s Scientific Advisory Board for 34 years. NCC’s mission “ to fund basic scientific cancer research” is essential. It fills a critical gap by providing financial support to promising young scientists, post-doctoral researchers who are often overlooked by private, governmental and institutional funders. Year after year, NCC reviews and underwrites with grants exceptional studies, basing our award decisions on the highest national evaluation standards — those of the National Institutes of Health. The NCC fellowship award recipients demonstrate great progress in advancing our knowledge for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. The goal: finding a cure.”
