Eight members of The Pink Warriors, the only breast cancer club at the University of Pittsburgh, joined the lab for a tour of the facilities, Wednesday night, February 7, 2024. They received a tour of the building from Dr. Lee and both Drs. Lee and Oesterreich spoke to them about breast cancer research and answered questions. Afterward they enjoyed a catered dinner. They learned a great deal from the lab tour and lab members were impressed with their questions. Contact information was exchanged and plans were laid for them to participate with the lab in the upcoming Rush to Crush Cancer and the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk, both May 19, 2024.
Several lab members volunteered at the Research tent at the annual Susan G. Komen “More Than Pink” walk in Pittsburgh. Adrian and Steffi were also interviewed by the local media.
Thanks to Alan Faneca, David Decastro and other Pittsburgh Steelers for supporting research on metastatic breast cancer! Adrian and Steffi attended the Bid for Hope event, organized by Glimmer of Hope, on October 1st 2018 and were able to meet some of the players, talk about their research, and win a signed helmet! Go Steelers!
