THE PATRICK C. WALSH PROSTATE
CANCER RESEARCH FUND AWARDEES
Scientists Named in New Round of Funding |
|
It's been two years now since The Patrick C. Walsh
Prostate Cancer Research Fund threw open its doors to any scientist
at Johns Hopkins — in any discipline — with a good idea worth pursuing,
to further our understanding of prostate cancer and help us find
the cure.
So far, thanks to the tremendous generosity of
our patients and friends, we've raised $28.7 million. In an era
of dwindling funding from the National Institutes of Health and
the Department of Defense — despite the increasing number of men
diagnosed each year with prostate cancer — never has this support,
and this kind of research fund, been more vital. We are now able
to provide $1,000,000 a year to fund proposals from the best and
brightest Hopkins scientists in many departments, including Oncology,
Pathology, Pharmacology, Epidemiology. This year, we received applications
from nearly 40 Hopkins scientists, as well as requests for continued
funding from last year's awardees.
The applications were vetted by a scientific advisory
board composed of distinguished Hopkins scientists and two lay members,
Joseph Rascoff, Chairman of the Johns Hopkins Prostate Cancer Advisory
Board, and Samuel Himmelrich. This year, we awarded more than $1,000,000
to thirteen recipients, most of whom are young investigators with
new ideas. Some of their work is described below.
