Meet the 2026 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 educational programming and fostering research collaboration among expert faculty and grantees.
Led by the 2026 LSRMP Clinical Research co-chairs Alison Moskowitz, MD (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), and Neha Mehta-Shah, MD, MSCI (Washington University in St. Louis), and Laboratory/Translational Research co-chairs Teresa Palomero, PhD (Columbia University Institute for Cancer Genetics), and Mark Roschewski, MD (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), the new class boasts translational and clinical researchers pursuing a diverse range of research projects to improve patient outcomes.
