Description
Marti’s Wish is a pilot research award offered by the Medical University of South Carolina through Hollings Cancer Center. It supports studies of biological mechanisms relevant to signet ring cell carcinoma, including metastasis, tumor biology, biomarker development, and treatment resistance. Projects may examine any cancer type when they have clear relevance to signet ring cell carcinoma.
The award is part of Hollings’ intramural support for faculty conducting cancer-related research. These opportunities foster interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative thinking, and translational research. They aim to catalyze promising work aligned with Hollings’ strategic priorities and showing strong potential for future extramural support.
