NEWPORT, RI — December 15, 2023 -- Hope Funds for Cancer Research, dedicated to advancing research for the most difficult-to-treat cancers, screened its recently-produced short film at a private club in Boston, on December 11. The event, along with earlier screenings in New York City and Newport, raised funds for postdoctoral fellowships granted by the organization.
"How To Win A Nobel Prize," directed by Gary Jobson, includes interviews with Hope Funds honorees who won the Nobel Prize subsequent to receiving the Hope Funds Award of Excellence: James Allison, Ph.D., awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in discovering how the body's immune system can be harnessed to combat cancer; William G. Kaelin, Jr., M.D., awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in the discovery of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability; and Jennifer Doudna, Ph.D., awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of a method for genome editing. In addition, the film features interviews with four Laureates who won the Nobel Prize prior to being awarded the Hope Funds Award of Excellence, Sir Paul Nurse, Ph.D., Elizabeth Blackburn, Ph.D., David Baltimore, Ph.D. and Phillip Sharp, Ph.D.
After the screening, a conversation about the film was held with director Jobson.
