The Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation ("NCF") is grateful to welcome Taymeyah Al-Toubah, MPH, CCRP, in a special support role during the remainder of 2026.

Taymeyah will support NCF’s programs and educational efforts from July 1 through December 31, 2026, helping ensure continuity for the patients, caregivers, clinicians, and community members who rely on NCF for trusted education, resources, and connection.

This temporary support comes as Lisa Yen, NP, NBC-HWC, NCF’s Director of Programs & Outreach, takes time following the passing of her beloved husband, Tom Bajoras.

Taymeyah brings more than a decade of experience in academic medicine, clinical research, oncology, and neuroendocrine tumor research. She holds dual bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Psychology and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology. Her interest in neuroendocrine tumors began during her MPH thesis, which became one of her first NET publications.

From 2018 to 2023, Taymeyah served as the primary neuroendocrine tumor (NET) coordinator at Moffitt Cancer Center, managing clinical trials, leading the GI team, and supporting retrospective and non-interventional research. She later served as Senior Project Manager of the NET program, overseeing protocol development, database creation, manuscript writing, and the curation of a master database of more than 10,000 NET patients.

Taymeyah has published more than 45 manuscripts and has presented at both Europeon Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) and the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Soceity (NANETS). She serves on the Board of Directors of NANETS and co-founder and medical advisory committee of FLaNET Carcinoid Community, and she continues to mentor students pursuing neuroendocrine tumor research. In 2025, she began medical school in Italy, continuing her path toward becoming a physician-scientist dedicated to advancing care for neuroendocrine cancer patients.

We are thankful to Taymeyah for stepping in during this meaningful time and grateful to our staff, Board, volunteers, medical advisors, and community partners for continuing to support NCF’s mission.

As always, NCF remains committed to providing trusted education, support, and resources for people impacted by neuroendocrine cancer.
