Ann Partridge has been awarded an American Cancer Society Professor Award – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Ann Partridge, vice chair of Medical Oncology, founder and director of the Program for Young Adults with Breast Cancer, and director of the Adult Survivorship Program, has been awarded an American Cancer Society (ACS) Professor Award, which recognizes investigators who have made seminal contributions in cancer research and recognizes exceptional track records in leadership, service, and mentoring.
‘With this support from the ACS, we will focus on the growing number of young adult patients and survivors,’ explains Partridge, one of two recipients of the award this year. ‘Improved attention to the unique concerns of this patient population should improve their disease and psychosocial outcomes.’
Partridge and her colleagues plan to use the grant award on a variety of projects to both conduct research and train the next generation of researchers to focus on improving treatment and quality of life outcomes across the population of adolescents and young adults with cancer.”
