The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital established a pediatric-focused fellowship which aims to help address the critical shortage of top young scientists who often seek more prevalent opportunities in adult cancer research or the pharmaceutical sector. The Damon Runyon—St. Jude Pediatric Cancer Research Fellowship will fund up to 25 fellowships over eight years, a $9 million investment.
Stand Up To Cancer announced grants to several teams of leading cancer investigators in support of cutting-edge research in a variety of cancers including head and neck, pediatric, pancreatic, breast, rectal, and gastro-esophageal cancers, as well as research focused on how the microbiome communicates with the immune system.
