HIV and AIDS Malignancy Research Fellowship

The fellowship program in HIV and AIDS malignancy is an advanced program designed for physicians who have completed specialty training in hematology and/or oncology and want to gain specialized training in clinical and translational research in HIV and/or virus-associated malignancies. It is most suited for individuals who are pursuing an academic career in this field, either in the United States or in international settings.

The program is conducted by the HIV and AIDS Malignancy Branch (HAMB) in the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI); the program works with the Medical Oncology Service in the CCR. Investigators may engage in basic laboratory research, preclinical studies, translational research and clinical trials. Basic laboratory research focuses on HIV and Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) biology, the pathogenesis of KSHV-associated malignancies, and cellular responses to hypoxia and other stress. Clinical studies are aimed at understanding the biology and natural history of virally associated malignancies and developing novel therapies through early phase clinical studies.
