For many of us at Foundation Medicine, cancer has directly touched our lives, either through our friends, our family, and in some cases, ourselves. So much of the passion that goes into our work each day comes from our personal experiences as patients, caretakers and supporters, connecting us to the company’s continued commitment to transform cancer care. Many of you have seen the photos featured on our Patient Walls in Cambridge, RTP and Penzberg, as well as on our careers website. These photos feature members of the Foundation Medicine community – from employees to loved ones, as well as patient advocates and caretakers – that serve to highlight these personal connections we have to cancer. We are proud to announce that this fall we will be installing a Patient Wall on the 3rd Floor in our Boston headquarters. The installation of this Patient Wall is meant to provide us all with a daily reminder of why we work at Foundation Medicine, with stories of hope and inspiration, fueling our passion and our pursuit to bringing personalized treatment options to more people living with cancer. 

We will be hosting a photoshoot on the 16th floor of HQ on July 16th and 17th. We have chosen this date because it coincides with the Clinical and Biopharma Mid-Year Meeting being held in Boston which will allow us to include photos of remote field sales employees.

For remote on non-HQ employees, we invite you to participate by submitting photos taken at home, click here for instructions to take part!

The following two forms will need to be completed before we can display your photo:
