Pallavi Tiwari, PhD was recently invited to New York City to present to the V Foundation Board on her work in cancer research, as a funded V Foundation Translational Grant Awardee. While in NYC, Dr. Tiwari was featured on ESPN during the NCAA Men’s Basketball game between Florida Atlantic and Illinois at Madison Square Garden. Angel Gray interviewed her at halftime about her V Foundation’s funded cancer research.
“The V Foundation has been transformational in my career,” Dr. Tiwari said in the interview. “I had an interesting idea that the V Foundation believed in, and where it has taken us is we are now doing real-time clinical analysis in different hospitals to build this technology that can have a transformative impact on cancer patients and their lives.
When asked how it felt to be on the team that fights cancer, Dr. Tiwari responded “It means that we are currently the underdogs, but we are well on our way to win the championship.”
