Zhen Lin, MD, PhD, and William C. Wimley, PhD were each recently awarded $35,000 Ladies Leukemia League grants to help support their leukemia and lymphoma research projects.
Founded in 1969, LLL is a volunteer organization of 225 women dedicated to raising funds for leukemia and lymphoma research in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Since their founding, they have raised over $4.5 million, which they have distributed as "seed" money to research scientists working in leukemia and lymphoma research or related fields.
