🎉 Congratulations to Our First-Round Awardee!
We’re excited to announce Dr. Neelendu Dey of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a recipient of our first round of funding!
Dr. Dey’s innovative proposal, “Gnotobiotic Validation of Candidate Bacterial Colorectal Polyp Killers,” represents promising research at the intersection of the gut microbiome  and cancer prevention .
By investigating how specific bacteria may influence colorectal polyp development, this work has the potential to uncover new insights into the complex relationship between the microbiome and colorectal cancer.
We’re proud to support Dr. Dey and his team as they advance this exciting research—and we look forward to seeing where this work leads.
Congratulations, Dr. Dey! đź‘Ź
