Three HMS postdoctoral fellows have been awarded fellowships by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. The Damon Runyon Fellowship recognizes exceptional postdoctoral scientists conducting basic and translational cancer research in the laboratories of leading senior investigators.
The four-year fellowship seeks to encourage promising young scientists to pursue careers in cancer research by providing independent funding to investigate cancer causes, mechanisms, therapies, and prevention.
“We are thrilled to be funding these innovative young scientists,” said Yung Lie, president and CEO of the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.
“They are committed to understanding the fundamental processes driving cancer, which may ultimately lead to new therapeutic approaches for patients,” said Lie.
