Hope Funds for Cancer Research hosted their 2021 Lunch at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport RI on July 25th, 2021
The Program featured a panel of esteemed experts discussing the “Virtue of the Road Less Travelled,” which has been the source of some of medicine’s greatest discoveries, many made by women. Panelists highlighted risks they have taken in their careers or in their research that have led to important results. The panelists included a member of the Nobel Prize-winning LIGO Scientific Collaboration, a leading cancer researcher from Harvard/Beth Israel Deaconess, and two biotechnology executives whose companies are working on the cutting edge of research. The panel was moderated by the co-chair of the Hope Funds Scientific Advisory Council, Bluma Lesch, M.D., Ph.D.
The Panel was organized by Hope Funds Alumnus and Trustee Andrew Mullen, Ph.D. The Chairs for the event were Hope Funds Trustee Charles Holmes, Development Committee member Patricia Stensrud, and Hope Funds supporter Katherine Dean.
"This was a festive event with an engaging discussion that served as a reminder of how much we had missed being together, in person, to discuss important topics in scientific research," said Hope Funds Trustee Leah Rush Cann.
The organization exercised an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of guests, including holding the event outdoors and limiting seating to 80 guests on the famous Horseshoe Piazza.
“We are grateful for the support of the women, and men, who attended the Women & Science Luncheon, and especially our sponsors Brookline Capital Markets and A4 Architecture," said Andrew Mullen, Ph.D., Hope Funds Trustee, “There has never been a more exciting time to support novel scientific research.”
