Epigenetics and a destiny of women’s cancer research


I’m home and feeling rested from my brief getaway with my girlfriends.  My blood exam formula final week were low, so we had to stop a initial drug temporarily.  I will be restarting during a reduce sip this week, that we am still confident will be effective.

2012 was a unequivocally successful fundraising year for a Noreen Fraser Foundation (NFF). We were means to account 3 investigate projects with grants that we trust will make a vicious jump brazen in a margin of women’s cancer research.  I would like to acknowledge a partnership with STELLA DOT, whose efforts enabled us to surpass a 2012 fundraising goals.

Today we wish to prominence a initial of a grants.

Epigenetics is a investigate area now gaining attention, involving new drugs that researchers trust will be effective in treating breast and ovarian cancers in a new proceed during a genetic level.  The extend was given to a Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center during UCLA, who will combine with researchers during Johns Hopkins in contrast new drugs that will concentration on epigenetic changes in cancer cells.   The UCLA lab will run pre-clinical contrast on a newly identified agents with a same proceed it took to brand and exam PD 0332991, a new drug whose pre-clinical work was also saved by NFF and is now being touted as a vital breakthrough in breast cancer treatment.  Epigenetic investigate is slicing edge, and an critical partial of a Noreen Fraser Foundation’s goal is to safeguard that new targeted and non-toxic treatments are done accessible as fast as possible.  You can review some-more about a investigate here.

However, there is one hitch.  The doctors will need an additional $53,000 to finish their work so we have instituted a NFF Winter Challenge to assistance lift a difference.  Please cruise assisting us.  At a website, 100 percent of a donations are always destined to cancer research, though from now until Apr 20, each penny we lift will go to a epigenetics lab.  Take a demeanour during a NFF website for good “FUNraising” ideas.  NFF supporters have lifted income to support women’s cancer investigate in a accumulation of ways.  A high propagandize bake sale lifted $335; a NFF group in a Sacramento marathon lifted $8,000; a child in Chicago collected lax change in a “Give-Back” jar to send in $126.  Every penny unequivocally does make a difference.  

On Sunday, we will be examination a 85th Academy Awards, hosted by Noreen Fraser Foundation’s good friend, Seth McFarlane.  Seth was a 2012 Noreen Fraser Foundation’s honoree during Variety’s Power of Comedy and helped us lift a poignant volume of income to account ground-breaking women’s cancer research.  Thank you, and good fitness hosting a Oscars, Seth!
