Postdoctoral Fellows Awarded June 2009

Seventeen Outstanding Young Investigators Receive Cancer Research Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship Award

The Fellowship Review Committee of the Cancer Research Institute’s Scientific Advisory Council, with the approval of the Institute’s Board of Trustees, has named seventeen new postdoctoral fellows from its April 2009 application round, awarding $2,473,500 in research funding in June through the Irvington Institute Fellowship Program of the Cancer Research Institute.

The seventeen young research scientists are conducting basic and tumor immunology laboratory investigations under the guidance of leading immunologists and tumor immunologists at distinguished academic institutions throughout the United States. Since the fellowship program’s inception in 1971, 971 fellows have received valuable funding from the Cancer Research Institute. Many fellows have since gone on to become leaders in their field, including two who have won the Nobel Prize.
