KATIE BEHR
Katie Behr is from South Bend and has recently graduated from Purdue University with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. She has taken a position with Memorial Hospital of South Bend where she is involved in the clinical aspect of pharmacy. While at Purdue, Katie spent two years conducting undergraduate research for the Purdue Cancer Center (PCC) after learning that her grandfather was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. She tried to fight cancer for him and for the millions of people she would never meet. Those two years with the PCC allowed Katie not only to aid in cutting edge research, but also to help spread awareness of scientific advances taking place every day. Katie hopes to continue educating others through volunteer work with the American Cancer Society and through an annual cancer benefit concert she helped to create. She also works closely with specialists in her own workplace, all to realize a common goal: eradicate cancer once and for all!
