DONOR SPOTLIGHT: OSI Pharmaceuticals, Melville OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. launched its charitable foundation in 2005. One of the foundation’s trustees heard about a unique summer science program at Hofstra that helps undergraduate students engage in high-level scientific research. Since 2008 the foundation has supported Hofstra’s Summer Research Fellowship, a 10-week paid fellowship for Hofstra juniors and seniors. Thanks to the foundation’s support, the program has expanded the number of students who can participate. The program funds students in research fellowships in hospital settings and on campus in the Biology Department. The goal, said Ann McDermott-Kave, director of the OSI Pharmaceuticals Foundation, is to cultivate the next generation of scientists by investing in science education. “Part of our mission is to invest in science education in the community where we live and work,” McDermott-Kave said.
OSI is best-known for its research and development in oncology, butt th the company iis also l involved i l d in i research of new drugs to treat diabetes and obesity. “The idea is that students need to learn about science as a profession. We strive to make that connection between what they’re learning and what they can do for a career.” To that end, for the past two years, students visit OSI Pharmaceuticals at the end of the program to make presentations about their research. “It’s really impressive to see what they learn in a short period of time during the summer science program,” McDermott-Kave said. “Their projects are sophisticated, and you can see that they really learn a lot during their time at Hofstra. Hofstra students have exceeded our expectations.”
