Norris Cotton Cancer Center Director Steven Leach, MD, has selected Mary Chamberlin, MD, and Todd Miller, PhD, to be the Friends Research Scholars for 2018. Each will receive an award of $25,000 to further their research into better ways to diagnose, treat, or prevent cancer. The Friends Scholar is so named because it draws on philanthropic dollars raised by the Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, a volunteer group dedicated to raising money and awareness for this nationally recognized comprehensive cancer center.
