A Special Opportunity for Stamford!

Meet one of Israel's Leading Cancer Scientists
Hear his remarkable achievements in Ovarian, Breast and Brain Cancers

ROTEM KARNI, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor and Chair, Program of Biochemistry, Metabolism and Endocrinology.

The Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School

Monday, August 17 at 7:30 pm

Home of Susan and Len Mark

55 Toilsome Brook Road, Stamford, CT

RSVP Required: ICRF CT Office 203 321-1006 * David.Kweskin@ICRFonline.org

Headlines generated by Dr. Karni's work

  • "Mechanism involved in breast cancer cell growth discovered by Hebrew University researchers provides opening for early detection, treatment."
  • "An Israeli postdoctoral fellow has identified a genetic protein likely to be involved in the development and spread of glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer in adults."
  • "Researchers have identified a process in which cancer cells become resistant to certain drugs, leading to a reliable prediction which patients will be helped by chemotherapy and which will not."

The Evening is a Learning event.

(If you should wish to donate, please click here.)

We are most grateful.

Dr. Karni's focus: How RNA splicing is de-regulated in cancer, and how the proteins that control this process contribute to cancer development, tumor progression and the metastatic process.

Dr. Karni: Why I became a researcher:"My interest in science began when I was a small child in Kibbutz Ramat Hashofet. I'd catch reptiles and insects just so I could learn about them. My curiosity turned into ambitions of becoming a zoologist. To pursue these dreams I studied biology at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem where I fell in love with genetics and biochemistry. I specifically wanted to understand why and how cancer develops and progresses, affecting the lives of so many people around the world."

The Israel Cancer Research Fund, a 501c3 organization, is the single largest source of private funds for cancer research in Israel. ICRF awardees are selected through a rigorous peer-review process that is conducted by a  world-class scientific panel. No funds go to "bricks and mortar". ICRF supports individuals at all of the major research institutions in Israel. In 40 years, $56+ million in 2,200+ grants have been awarded, resulting in three major cancer drugs and many discoveries/breakthroughs.
