Last week the Mayo Clinic received an $11 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support research addressing the current and long-term unmet healthcare needs of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This NCI funded, multi-institutional project is known as the “Lymphoma Epidemiology of Outcomes Cohort Study”. At the Weill Cornell site, Dr. Peter Martin will serve as the Principal Investigator, and Dr. John Leonard will be a participating investigator.
As Principal Investigator at the Weill Cornell site, Dr. Martin, who is the Charles, Lillian, and Betty Neuwirth Clinical Scholar in Oncology, will be overseeing the recruitment of participants and reporting of outcomes. “The LEO Collaboration will be the largest study of it’s kind anywhere in the world and will undoubtedly lead to important, impactful discoveries. We look forward to enrolling participants at Weill Cornell as we seek avenues to increase long-term prognosis and survivorship for those living with NHL,” says Dr. Martin.
Working with participating investigators, Dr. John Leonard and Dr. Giorgio Inghirami (Pathology, Weill Cornell Medical College). “This multi-institutional collaborative study group, supported by the NCI, has a highly productive track record. We are very happy to be a part of it,” says Dr. Leonard.
