Cancer Research Focus of TBBCF Annual Meeting

A founding member of Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board will be the keynote speaker at the 13th annual meeting Tuesday, June 18, 2019, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Flanders Fish Market & Restaurant, 22 Chesterfield Road, East Lyme. It is open to the public.

Michael Garabedian, PhD, professor and course director at New York University Medical Center, will talk about the importance of continued funding for cancer research. He will also highlight some of the researchers who have received TBBCF grants and are looking for a cure and discovering less invasive and more targeted treatments for those diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Our recipients are doing fabulous work,” Garabedian said. “Most have used the money well and gone into further research.”
