Surgical Oncology/Cancer Immunotherapy Research Fellowship

The Surgical Oncology/Cancer Immunotherapy Research Fellowship Program at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) trains surgeons who are committed to academic careers in the expanding field of surgical oncology with an interest in translational cancer immunotherapy.

The two or three year program is designed to provide a comprehensive basic science, clinical immunotherapy, and surgical oncology clinical experience. The laboratory experience is immersive with a commitment to bench-to-bedside discovery within an active early-phase clinical research program of cellular immunotherapy. Faculty mentors guide a program of continuous clinical and scientific development commensurate with each fellow's experience, allowing each fellow the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to a rapidly growing field of study.

The clinical immunotherapy experience focuses on the intricacies of patient care and human subjects research within the bench-to-bedside model of the Surgery Branch. Time on the surgical clinical service with the Surgical Oncology Program is characterized by exposure to a broad range of complex pathology and emphasizes the multidisciplinary care of patients with cancer. Over the course of the fellowship, trainees will hone their skills of critical inquiry, increase their scientific literacy, and lay the foundation for future specialty training and academic practice with first-hand experience in the conduct of clinical, translational, and laboratory research.
