Meet the 2024 Lymphoma Scientific Research Mentoring Program Scholars

The Lymphoma Research Foundation’s Lymphoma Scientific Research Mentoring Program (LSRMP) is a first-of-its-kind education and mentoring program for junior scientists who wish to focus on lymphoma and CLL research, whether in the lab or in the clinic.

The primary goal of the LSRMP is to retain its talented participants – called LRF Scholars – in the field of lymphoma by providing mentoring and education programming and fostering research collaboration among expert faculty and grantees.

Led by the 2024 LSRMP Clinical Research co-chairs, Jeremy Abramson, MD (Massachusetts General Hospital) and Nancy Bartlett, MD (Washington University in St Louis), and Laboratory/Translational Research co-chairs, David Scott, MBChB, PhD (BC Cancer) and Michael Green, PhD, MD (University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center), the new class is boasting translational and clinical researchers pursuing a diverse range of research projects with a goal to improve patient outcomes.
