Who We Are
At the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation (FLF), we are unapologetically bold. We exist for one reason: to accelerate a cure for follicular lymphoma and to do it fast. Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing but currently incurable blood cancer, and we are determined to change that reality. We are not waiting for permission. We are not following the status quo. We are focused, agile, and ambitious backing breakthrough science, driving global collaboration, and amplifying the voice of patients everywhere. The FLF is a fast-growing, dynamic charity start-up with global ambition and the determination to reshape what is possible for people living with follicular lymphoma. As we scale rapidly under the leadership of our new Global CEO, we are building a team that shares the urgency, creativity and courage to challenge convention and push for real impact. Our research program supports an increasing range of investigations: unique early phase clinical trials, late-stage pre-clinical projects with a clear path to the clinic and companion studies such as biomarker development and “liquid biopsy” technologies. We are expanding our research team to ensure that we remain at the forefront of scientific advances and accelerate progress in lymphoma.
