An update from 2024’s Scholarship Winner

“Without a doubt, I am a better professional than I was at the beginning of this journey, and I know this is only the beginning of my path in ocular oncology.”

These powerful words come from Douglas Chigane, the recipient of the 2024 Victoria Cohen Eye Cancer Charitable Trust scholarship, an aspiring ocular oncologist who spent a transformative year learning under the incredible Dr. Jesse Berry in a world-leading facility.

This grant didn’t just fund a placement, it opened doors to a future dedicated to saving sight and lives.

At VCECCT, we’re committed to supporting the next generation of eye cancer specialists. Because behind every award we give is a ripple effect of knowledge, care, and hope for patients worldwide.

Are you, or is someone you know, ready to take the next step in ocular oncology?
