A construction industry professional with more than two decades of experience, Eric Hymowitz oversees the construction of private residences in Houston through his role as the owner and president of ROC Homes. Eric Hymowitz has also been involved in charitable activities by donating resources to several organizations, including one dedicated to finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer occurs when the DNA strands in some cells that make up the pancreas are damaged. When the damage occurs, the faulty cells lose the information necessary to control division (become cancerous) and multiply abnormally. The cancer cells grow rapidly into tumors. Research into the exact mechanism by which chromosomal abnormality results in cancer is an active area of research at this point.
ROC Homes' dedicated team supports activities to combat pancreatic cancer through the Pancreatic Cancer Network. ROC Homes has donated resources to the Pancreatic Cancer Network in Houston on behalf of the organization to support efforts in developing a cure for pancreatic cancer. ROC also believes that the research efforts can help discover cures for other forms of cancer.
