Endless Summer: SS Covers The 15th Annual Super Saturday for Ovarian Cancer Research Fund with Help from Zipcar

Ovarian Cancer Research Fund is the largest independent organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to funding ovarian cancer research– and to finding a cure.  Through our three research programs, we fund the best researchers and the most innovative projects.

Since 1998, OCRF has awarded 63 leading medical centers 195 grants for ovarian cancer research: an investment totaling over $50 million.  OCRF researchers are taking on ovarian cancer from many angles:

• Developing innovative strategies for early detection
• Discovering genetic polymorphisms that increase risk for ovarian cancer
• Understanding the underlying genetics and molecular biology of ovarian cancer
• Identifying new, better targets for treatment
• Determining how to super-charge a woman’s immune response to better fight ovarian cancer
• Deciphering how and why ovarian cancer spreads, and how to stop it
