On the occasion of the International Day of Women in Science, Fondazione Gianni Bonadonna, with Prada Group as Supporting Partner, and Fondazione AIRC presented the winners of the first Call for Fellowship in memory of the father of Italian medical oncology, Gianni Bonadonna. The two young researchers, Gaia Giannone and Stefania Morganti, will spend a 3-year training period abroad in prestigious international oncology institutes. Both research projects will contribute to the advancement of knowledge on ovarian and breast cancer and to an improvement in patients’ treatments and quality of life. Thus, one of the most ambitious aims of this partnership is now realized: to train a new generation of clinician scientists, which will be able to combine the expertise and knowledge of basic research with a solid clinical preparation, to be made available to cancer patients.
Miuccia Prada declares: “Education and culture are essential tools that help us not only to understand ourselves and the world we live in but also push us to explore what we do not know. I am happy that Prada can support a new generation of excellent researchers in their study and education path alongside the Gianni Bonadonna Foundation”.
