Meet the 2025 Lymphoma Research Mentoring Program Grantees
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 Foundation Scholars – in the field of lymphoma by providing mentoring and education programming and fostering research collaboration among expert faculty and grantees.
Led by the 2025 LSRMP Clinical Research co-chairs, Jeremy Abramson, MD (Massachusetts General Hospital), and Alison Moskowitz, MD (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), and Laboratory/Translational Research co-chairs, David Scott, PhD, MBChB (BC Cancer, Vancouver), and Teresa Palomero, PhD (Columbia University Institute for Cancer Genetics), the new class boasts translational and clinical researchers pursuing a diverse range of research projects to improve patient outcomes.
