The Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) today announced that it has awarded the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and its clinical researchers, Kenneth Anderson, MD, and Paul Richardson, MD, with the 2009 MMRC Center of the Year Award.

Anderson and Richardson, for their outstanding commitment to innovation and results, and for their exemplary dedication to the patients that inspire our work,” said Kathy Giusti, Founder and CEO of the MMRC. “Their visionary leadership will undoubtedly fuel the continued success of the MMRC.”
