Break Through Cancer announced $50 million in grants to support research projects using a “TeamLab” structure—designed to maximize interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Marina Konopleva, director of the Leukemia Program and co-director of the Blood Cancer Institute at the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, has joined Break Through Cancer, a collaborative medical research foundation that supports teams of scientists as they advance treatments for some of the world’s deadliest cancers.
