The Veronesi Foundation
Good health and well-being

The Veronesi Foundation was established by Umberto Veronesi in 2003 to promote scientific progress by awarding research grants to doctors and researchers and supporting high-profile projects.

Since 2019, we have funded research grants for Gold for Kids, which is dedicated to pediatric oncology.

In 2022, a research grant was awarded to Dr. Veronica Marabitti to support her research on medulloblastoma: one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer in children.

In 2021, we funded a grant for Dr Valeria Lucarini to support her research on neuroblastoma, a predominantly pediatric form of cancer that originates in cells of the peripheral nervous system.

In 2019, we funded a grant for Dr Chiara Bruckmann to support her research into improving leukemia treatment for children. Her research is focused on nanobodies that block proteins that cause acute myeloid leukemia, a rare aggressive illness that can affect children up to the age of two.
