NYC Benefit Raises $1.4m for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, Honors Merck
Date:6/4/2009

ny has provided $2 million to support Damon Runyon Fellowships.

Mr. Clark was introduced by Larry Bossidy, former CEO of Honeywell International Inc. Mr. Bossidy recently retired from Merck's Board of Directors.

Damon Runyon scientists John L. Rinn, PhD, and Christine H. Chung, MD, described their current cancer research projects funded by the Foundation:

Dr. Rinn, previously an aspiring professional snowboarder and now an Assistant Professor at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University, won a Damon Runyon Innovation Award for his work on a new class of molecules called lincRNAs, which have potentially groundbreaking possibilities for the treatment of all cancers.

"We do genomic origami. If we could learn to fold, say, a broken wing [of a genomic origami bird] up, we could turn a cancerous cell back to normal," said Dr. Rinn.

Dr. Chung's story brought her from a house in South Korea without indoor plumbing to her current role as a Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator now focused on improving treatments for patients with head and neck cancers.

"I deeply appreciate Damon Runyon's support - it helped me achieve my American dream," said Dr. Chung, who is now Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
