I was the recipient of a CRI postdoctoral fellowship award that funded my research in the function of the innate immune system during aging at MIT. Because of the generous support of CRI, I was able to make important discoveries that I anticipate will help to form the foundation of further study in age-dependent dynamics of signaling pathways that regulate the immune response later in life. Throughout my years as a CRI fellow, I have found the staff at CRI to be professional, supportive, and truly dedicated to the cause of advancing scientific knowledge toward the goal of eliminating cancer. My heartfelt thanks goes to CRI, and I would strongly recommend CRI as a benefactor of those seeking to support biomedical research.
