The Lustgarten Foundation Awards Six Research Centers With Pancreatic Cancer Research Funding

"Many of these grant recipients will build on the landmark work of The Genome Project, which decoded pancreatic cancer's complete genetic blueprint, while others are conducting research essential to our growing understanding of pancreatic cancer. If successful, this research will move us another step closer toward the goal of making pancreatic cancer detection as easy as a routine blood test, and provide the framework for developing life-saving treatments," said Kerri Kaplan, executive director of The Lustgarten Foundation.
