INTEGRA donates $10,000 to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Following the successful launch of its PIPETGIRL pink pipette controller in support of breast cancer research, INTEGRA Biosciences has made a $10,000 donation​ to the Susan F Smith Center for Womens Cancers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, US.

At the start of 2015, INTEGRA decided to make PIPETGIRL its symbol of commitment to supporting breast cancer research and pledged to donate €10/$15 for every purchase of the PIPETGIRL to to research institutes dedicated to finding a cure.

The Susan F. Smith Center for Women's Cancers at Dana-Farber unites many of the world's leading experts in breast and gynecologic cancers with one common goal: to give all women the latest, most advanced care, including innovative therapies that are often available only through clinical trials. A place of hope and action, the Susan F. Smith Center for Women's Cancers offers multi-dimensional services to strengthen mind, body and soul and to help alleviate mental and emotional burdens.

Marc Hamel, director of US sales at INTEGRA, commented: "During our visit to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we learned so much about the incredible work being undertaken at this prestigious patient treatment facility specifically in the area of breast cancer. Empowered by the laboratory community’s enthusiastic response to our PIPETGIRL pipette controller, I am delighted that we have reached our first milestone - a $10,000 contribution to Dana-Farber."

“We are honoured to partner with INTEGRA and truly grateful for their generous support of Dana-Farber’s Susan F. Smith Center for Women’s Cancers,” said Courtney Hadden, associate director, corporate partnerships, Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. “Integra’s commitment is admirable and critical to furthering the important work in research and care for women’s cancers taking place at the Center.”
