The Lustgarten Foundation
@lustgarten.org
We are the largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research in the world, investing in high-risk, high-reward research to drive bold, innovative research with the singular mission: transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease.
New research from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory shows that nerves actively help #pancreaticcancer develop before tumors form. This Lustgarten-funded study points to new ways to disrupt cancer earlier — and potentially improve outcomes.
