Jedd Wolchok received a $1 million grant over a three-year period from The William Randolph Hearst Foundation to establish a new immuno-oncology research fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and support postdoctoral students who are conducting exceptional research in the field of immune-oncology and immunotherapy.
Wolchok is the Lloyd J. Old/Virginia and Daniel K. Ludwig Chair in Clinical Investigation, chief of the Immuno-Oncology Service, director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and associate director of the Ludwig Center for Cancer Immunotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
The fellowship program will be a part of the Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program’s Immuno-Oncology service, led by Wolchok.
