The program in pediatric neuroblastoma at Memorial Sloan-Kettering invites applications for its newly created Pediatric Immunotherapy Fellowship. Clinical fellows will receive training in how to translate immunotherapeutic strategies from the laboratory to the patient, including but not limited to clinical trial design, protocol development, Investigational New Drug (IND) application, and execution of clinical trials. The clinical focus will primarily be neuroblastoma, with occasional overlap in sarcoma, brain tumors, and certain leukemias. The fellow will participate in the neuroblastoma clinic, seeing patients for follow-up, as well as evaluating new patients and related inpatient consults. In addition, the fellow will have the opportunity to teach residents and medical students who are doing rotations on the Pediatric Oncology Service.
The program begins in July.
