Minh Than, MD, PhD, is not only the lead author of a groundbreaking preclinical study on pancreatic cancer interception in Science, but an emblem of the future of research on cancer interception and related discoveries to help people at elevated hereditary risk of cancer. He is a recipient of the philanthropically supported Basser Center for BRCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
The fellowship owes its origins, in part, to Ilana Katz Sand, MD, and Michael Sand, Basser Center Advisory Board members who also gladly offer their Penn pride as 2003 Wharton alumni, along with philanthropy and personal experience.
Training investigators across a range of disciplines-basic and translational science, implementation and behavioral science, preventive medicine, bioinformatics, and clinical trials-fellows work alongside a Basser Core Investigator and receive funding to advance their independent research.
