A Follow-Up on Medical Research Funding

I enjoyed reading, in the March 2025 issue of PAW, Susan Reslewic Keatley ’99’s piece on cancer research being conducted by Princeton alumni. It was an insightful and informative article. I was a bit surprised not to see Dr. Monica Bertagnolli ’81 included as one of the alumni on the forefront of cancer research. Dr. Bertagnolli served as the director of the National Cancer Institute as well as the director of the National Institutes of Health and has had a distinguished career in clinical oncology. 

Perhaps an article focusing on policy issues associated with government support and funding (or lack thereof) for important and life-saving cancer and other medical research is in order. The views of Dr. Bertagnolli and other Princetonians with expertise in medicine and public policy would be a welcome follow-up to Ms. Keatley’s feature.
