Our People

At the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, we are committed to open and transparent governance to ensure we are meeting our mission in line with our community and partners’ expectations.

The OCRF is governed by a Committee of Management supported by four expert subcommittees. We are grateful to all our contributing members on each committee, who give of their time freely and passionately in the hope of bringing forward a future where every woman, everywhere, is free from the threat of ovarian cancer.
