n Grand Rapids, Michigan, Van Andel Institute (VAI) officials hosted members of the Knights Templar Grand Commandery of Michigan on September 12, to commemorate the awarding of a one-year $30,000 grant by the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc. to Jennifer Bromberg-White, Ph.D. a postdoctoral research fellow in the Van Andel Research Institute’s (VARI) Laboratory of Cancer and Developmental Cell Biology. The grant supports Dr. Bromberg-White’s proposal entitled “The Role of MAPK Signaling in Vascular Development in the Eye” which seeks to answer whether a family of proteins called MEK’s that is fundamentally important for blood vessel growth in cancer is also important in retinal development and in retinal diseases related to abnormal blood vessel growth. A large contingent of Knights Templar, Grand Commandery of Michigan, members and spouses traveled from across the state to attend the ceremony. Dr. Rhude, a retired optometrist, presented the ceremonial check to Dr. Bromberg-White. “The continued generosity of organizations like the Knights Templar Eye Foundation is now paying dividends as young and talented scientists like Dr. Jenn White make new discoveries that help us understand human diseases and develop new therapies for their treatment,” said Dr. Duesbery, who hosted the event and who directs the Laboratory of Cancer and Developmental Cell Biology as its senior scientific investigator. “Dr. White is taking some of the basic discoveries we have made regarding blood vessel growth in tumors and with an exciting twist is using these to generate fundamental insight into retinal vascularization that may lead to new therapies for eye diseases.” dŚŽƐĞ ƉŝĐƚƵƌĞĚ ĨƌŽŵ ůĞŌ ƚŽ ƌŝŐŚƚ ĂƌĞ ^ŝƌ <ŶŝŐŚƚ tŝůůŝĂŵ ,ĞƌůŝŚǇ͕ 'ƌĂŶĚ 'ĞŶĞƌĂlissimo; Sir Knight Glenn Leeper, Jr., Grand Commander Knights Templar MI; Sir Knight Cortland Rule, Grand Junior Warden; Jennifer Bromberg-White, Ph.D.; Sir Knight Paul Tarr, Jr., Commander; Dr. Dwight Rhude, of the KTEF in Michigan and P.C of his Commandery; and Sir Knight David Seyferth, Deputy Grand Commander. knight templar 11
