Why The Fund Was Formed
The Stephen Tuttle Fund for Oncology Research & Education was set up to fund educational and research opportunities for the next generation of scientists, with the hope of getting closer each year to the cure. One of the areas we will be supporting with the fund will be the SUPERS Program.
What is SUPERS?
SUPERS@PENN is an international 10 week summer research program hosted by the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The primary goal is to provide an individualized science-based learning curriculum. Students are paired with faculty mentors from the Departments of Radiation Oncology, Radiology, or who are members of the Radiobiology and Imaging Program of the Abrahamson Cancer Center.
SUPERS PROGRAM STATS
