The program focuses on advancing research into triple-negative breast cancer and enhancing the institute’s capabilities for treating the disease. The gift, given by the Benderson Family of Sarasota, Fla., will also be used to expand a comprehensive triple-negative breast cancer research registry and to support capital projects at Dana-Farber.

Eric P. Winer, MD, chief of the breast oncology division in the Susan F. Smith Center for Women’s Cancers at Dana-Farber, will serve as the program’s director.
