Scientific Advisory Board
Adopt-A-Scientist– Cure Cancer, a private foundation exempt under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3), was formally created in 2018 by cancer survivor Dewey Stringer and Dr. Katherine Pulse with the guidance of Dr. Eric Jonasch, Stephanie Young, and Mark Stringer. Its efforts began in 2016 and, initially, Adopt-A-Scientist – Cure Cancer helped facilitate donations directly to the cancer institutions conducting the research, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor College of Medicine. Our Board members have diverse skill sets and experiences but are united in their passion to help researchers cure cancer and improve the wellness and quality of life of cancer patients.
