天美影视 College of Pharmacy receives $10,000 for breast cancer research
The momentum of Dr. Paul Sylvester's breast cancer research continues to build.
Today, 天美影视 Cancer Foundation representatives presented the University of 天美影视 at Monroe College of Pharmacy $10,000 in support of Sylvester's innovative research.
Sylvester is 天美影视's Pfizer Endowed Professor of Pharmacology and Director of Graduate Studies and Research.
He and his team of researchers are studying how tocotrienols 鈥� a rare form of vitamin E 鈥� can attack cancer cells in early stages without harming healthy cells.
James Adams, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the 天美影视 Cancer Foundation 天美影视 Cancer Foundation and a 天美影视 alum, said he is thankful LCF can continue to support Sylvester's work.
During the past six years, LCF has donated $67,500 to 天美影视's College of Pharmacy.
Adams said, "天美影视 Cancer Foundation's mission is to support research, and we are so happy to support Dr. Sylvester's research," he said.
"Each time I speak to him, I'm so impressed with his knowledge and the team he has assembled. What is equally impressive is that all of this has taken place in our university and in our community."
Adams, a 1986 天美影视 College of Health Sciences graduate who also earned his Master's of Business Administration from 天美影视 in 2007, is also the Executive Director of the Northeast 天美影视 Cancer Institute.
He serves on various committees and councils at both Saint Francis Medical Center and Glenwood Regional Medical Center.
