The ACRF raises money for the Christine and Helen Landgraf Memorial Fund, which has given annual grants to doctors and research scientists at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center since 1973. The Landgraf Award was created by John and Helen Landgraf to honor their daughter, Christine, who died of Hodgkin’s disease at the age of 27.
Some of the most recent awards for research are noted below
2024: Shuchi Gulati, M.D., M.Sc. – Dr. Gulati specializes in bladder and kidney cancer as well as male reproductive system tumors. The grant will fund a pilot clinical trial in patients with kidney cancer to improve outcomes when treated with immunotherapy drugs in the pre-operative setting. The novel immunotherapy drug, in combination with other novel agents, will spur the immune cells to attack the cancer cells to improve outcomes in patients suffering from lethal kidney cancer.
2023 Elysia Alvarez, M.D., M.P.H. – Dr Alvarez is a pediatric hematologist/oncologist and is the co-leader of the Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Comprehensive Sarcoma Clinic and has expertise in adolescent and young adults with solid tumors. Dr Alvarez’ research focuses on improving care for this age group and identifying and overcoming barriers to accessing treatment.
2022 Mamta Parikh, M.D., Ph.D – Mamta Parikh received her medical degree from UC Davis School of Medicine and her undergraduate degree in chemistry from Boston University as well as a master’s in organic chemistry from UC Irvine. Parikh’s clinical research is focused on improving outcomes in bladder, kidney and prostate cancer by investigating new agents in clinical trials. Parikh and her collaborators are evaluating novel treatments aimed at improving the efficacy of immunotherapy by determining how the drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) interacts with peptides that target key immune-related pathways.
