2010 Annual Report - Cancer Research Center

Raymond Freese, a local builder, developer, and president of Boone
County Lumber Company, was a member of the CRC Board of Trustees
for 21 years, beginning in 1973. He worked tirelessly to secure
funding and support for various CRC projects and was especially
devoted to the CRC Gala. Ray lost his sister and several close friends
to cancer and decided to do what he could to fight this lethal disease.
Unfortunately, he lost his own battle with cancer in 1994. After
his death, the CRC Board of trustees set up the Raymond W. Freese
Memorial Fellowship. This fellowship is awarded to promising postdoctoral
scientists for an initial one year appointment, with reappointment
for additional years based on performance. The stipend is
comparable to those awarded by the Health Sciences Center at the
University of Missouri - Columbia. The major research project is prostate
tumor therapy with genetically altered Salmonella. Applicants
are expected to have (1) expertise in molecular genetics of bacteria,
(2) willingness to develop a mouse testing model, (3) skills in writing
grant proposals and manuscripts, (4) skills in presenting research
results at national meetings, and (5) skills to develop projects independently
and creatively.
