Q & A | Dr. Britta Will | Pershing Square Sohn Prize for Young Investigators in Cancer Research

In this Q& A, Britta Will, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine and of cell biology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, shares what winning a Pershing Square Sohn Prize for Young Investigators in Cancer Research means to her and what motivated her to go into stem cell research. She is one of six New York City area-based scientists to receive the prestigious award, which provides $600,000 over three years for innovative basic science cancer research.

Dr. Will’s award will help fund her studies on the mechanisms that create and sustain cancer stem cells – a unique and therapy-resistant population of cancer cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), two age-related and largely incurable blood cancers.
