Michael Savona, MD, professor of Medicine and Cancer Biology, and director of Hematology Research at Vanderbilt- Ingram Cancer Center, has received a competitive grant award from the Edward P. Evans Foundation.
The Discovery Research Grant (DRG) will support his work to develop therapies for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, a group of cancers that occur when immature blood cells in the bone marrow don’t fully develop or fail to become healthy blood cells.
