The American Association for Cancer Research-Novocure Career Development Award for Cancer Research represents a joint effort to promote and support early-career investigators who are conducting innovative research focused on Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields; intermediate frequency, low intensity, alternating electric fields that disrupt cell division in cancer cells) as well as to encourage early-career investigators to enter the TTFields research field.
In Florida, cancer is part of daily life for thousands of families. It is the state’s second-leading cause of death. Each year, an estimated 115,000 Floridians receive a new cancer diagnosis and certain preventable or virus-linked cancers continue to impose avoidable burdens on communities across the state.
