The endowed chair is funded with generous support from the estate of Concetta “Chet” Greenberg, an ardent champion of both cancer research and women in STEM during her life. Greenberg has previously contributed a multi-million-dollar gift representing the largest private donation by an individual in Fox Chase history. At age 96, she helped establish the Marvin and Concetta Greenberg Pancreatic Cancer Research Institute with this funding in September 2017.
