"One of the primary goals of Colleen's Dream Foundation is to work with Young Investigators at some of the top research hospitals and universities that make ovarian cancer," Cundiff said. "So we're thrilled to finance, will work Felix Zeppernick of Johns Hopkins University is under the direction of Dr."
Zeppernick, Molecular Genetics Laboratory of the female reproductive cancer working in the Johns Hopkins University, says that it was ovarian cancer research interests, when he was a medical student.
"I was interested in the cancer biology, when I was a medical student after receiving various lectures on the topic of listening", Zeppernick says. "I was fascinated by all the tricks, like a cancer cell can go to autonomous growth and human defenses." While I was told that the treatment of ovarian cancer is particularly difficult, even more interest in the topic has me always to patients and their families as young doctor."
Zeppernick says that he is just an "exciting" ovarian cancer research project.
"Employed at the Hopkins I on two very exciting projects", says Zeppernick. "It is known time, that women take a contraceptive pill and with a small number of lifetime risk have ovulation (E.g. due to pregnancies and lactation) ovarian cancer for a long time. We try to improve our understanding of these relationships."

Cundiff says that through the cooperation with John Hopkins University and starting capital offers cutting-edge research for young researchers like Dr. Zeppernick, Colleen's Dream Foundation Fund through some of the brightest young minds in the world,.
"The young researchers at Hopkins are some of the best and brightest minds in the world," Cundiff said. "This grant is the culmination of many months of hard work for Colleen's Dream Foundation and is the first of many that we will publish in 2013."

ABOUT OVARIAN CANCER:
Ovarian cancer is often called the "silent killer" because many women discover their disease not up there in the late stages, which is that many women succumb to the disease within a short time leads. In contrast to cervical cancer or breast cancer, ovarian cancer does not have a standardized procedure for early detection. When it comes to women's health, ovarian cancer, proves one of the most deadly diseases.
ABOUT COLLEEN'S DREAM FOUNDATION:
Colleen's Dream Foundation started in the year 2012 and support improved research into the early detection and treatment of ovarian cancer. The story of Colleen's dream began in 2007 Colleen Drury - Nicole Cundiffs mother and Billy Cundiffs mother-in-law - ovarian cancer was diagnosed with late-stage. The family became aware of a new world, full of minimally invasive surgery, harsh chemotherapy and much uncertainty, and realized that they needed to help others that had to do with ovarian cancer.
Colleen's Dream Foundation believes that it is important to money for research leading tests reliable early detection and improved treatment of ovarian cancer. Because so little about ovarian cancer is known as compared to other women's health issues, there is an incredible opportunity for research and education.
