Osama Rahma Wins Danielson Translation Innovation Award

Osama Rahma, MD

Assistant Professor of Medicine Osama Rahma received the 2015 Danny Danielson Translation Innovation Award from the Hoosier Cancer Research Network (HCRN) in Indianapolis. This bi-annual, $10,000  award is presented to investigators working in partnership with the HCRN to support “the correlative components of clinical trial protocols when financial support is not otherwise available.”

The award is given in hope that the “correlatives under investigation through this award will one day have future clinical applications, such as development of new treatment strategies or identification of patient subsets for specific treatment therapies, and/or provide hypotheses for future clinical trials.”

The Hoosier Cancer Research Network is an independent, not-for-profit organization established to explore and develop leading-edge cancer treatments across the U.S. and internationally. Its clinical trials are developed in collaboration with academic and community oncologists, with a member network of more than 140 clinical research sites.
