This fellowship is provided by funds from the Dean R. O’Neill Renal Cell Cancer Research Fund.  It supports a promising, postdoctoral cancer investigator who will work for two to three years in the laboratory of tumor immunology headed by Dr. Richard Childs of the NIH’s National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and will conduct research to further the quest to uncover more effective immunotherapies for the treatment for renal cell cancer.

The first O’Neill Fellow made an important discovery which has contributed to a better understanding of immune cells and their target antigens and has helped to develop more effective transplant approaches for renal cell cancer and other solid tumors.
