Gateway's Staff

For more than a decade, Delora Senft has been instrumental in bringing focus to Gateway for Cancer Research and its vision to shape a world in which a cancer diagnosis is no longer feared. As the organization’s chief operating officer, she is instrumental in overseeing Gateway’s function, financial priorities and funding mechanisms. This includes strategic oversight of marketing, donor relations and fundraising activities as well as developing and nurturing relationships with renowned hospitals, health care institutions and organizations that share Gateway’s commitment to ending cancer as we know it. In her previous role as director of strategic partnerships, Delora worked closely with an external review committee of physicians, research scientists and other clinicians to evaluate grant applications and make appropriate funding recommendations to the Gateway Board of Directors. Delora’s relentless passion for advancing early phase research stems from having lost her brother cancer and a promise she made to help spare others a similar fate.
