Weill Cornell Medicine Awarded $9 Million Prestigious Grant for Mantle Cell Lymphoma Research

December 9, 2018

Selina Chen-Kiang, PhD
Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Weill Cornell Medicine has been awarded a five-year, $9 million Program Project Grant (P01) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to better understand how and why patients with an aggressive and incurable form of lymphoma initially respond to treatment, only to relapse over time. The findings may enable investigators to develop superior therapies that are effective, well tolerated and tailored to individual patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

The NCI, part of the National Institutes of Health, offers Program Project Grants to support integrated, multi-project research involving a number of independent investigators who together can improve scientific understanding on a common theme or disease area. This is the first P01 that is solely focused on MCL, which will seek to capitalize on the institution’s strengths in basic and translational research for blood malignancies.
