F09 reviews fellowship applications in basic, translational, and clinical areas of cancer initiation, promotion, progression, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Specifically, applications reviewed include chemical carcinogenesis, cancer genetics, nutritional carcinogenesis, radiation biology, tumor immunology, cancer therapeutic agents/treatment modalities, cancer biomarkers/signatures, chemoprevention, and translational research from bench to bedside. Examples of specific areas covered are listed below.
- Cancer prevention
- Cancer diagnosis
- Cancer genomics
- Cancer metastasis and angiogenesis
- Regulation of gene expression related to cancer
- Cancer-related DNA repair
- Transformation of cells by viruses
- Cancer biomarkers/signatures
- Cancer therapeutic agents
- Gene therapy for cancer
- Cancer immunology including cancer vaccines
- Delivery systems and animal models related to cancer
Shared Interests:
With F04 (Chemical and Bioanalytical Sciences) and F04B (Biophysical and Biochemical Sciences): Fellowship applications that focus on developing and synthesizing new and different compounds or with the physical chemistry and structure of proteins, lipids, and other biopolymers may be assigned to F04A or B; fellowship applications that focus on the efficacy and safety of anticancer compounds or the properties of cancer specific proteins, lipids, and related compounds may be assigned to F09.
With F05 (Cell Biology and Development): Fellowship applications that emphasize basic, normal cellular, molecular and developmental biology, including cell cycle, signal transduction, gene regulation, cell motility and differentiation may be reviewed by F05; fellowship applications that focus on understanding malignant processes concerning the regulation of cell growth, cell division, and gene expression may be reviewed in F09.
With F06 (Endocrinology, Nutritional Metabolism, and Reproductive Sciences) regarding diabetes: Fellowship applications that focus on the role of hormones in the development of cancer could be assigned to F06; fellowship applications that focus on carcinogenesis, tumor development and treatment, and metastasis could be assigned to F09.
With F07 (Immunology): Fellowship applications that focus on basic aspects of tumor immunology or on pre-clinical aspects of tumor vaccine development, particularly involving animal models only, may be to assigned to F07; fellowship applications that focus on clinical or translational aspects of tumor immunology, or on the clinical or translational aspects of cancer vaccines, may be assigned to F09.
With F08 (Genomics, Genetics, DNA Replication, and Gene Expression): Fellowship applications focused on fundamental aspects of genomics, genetics, DNA repair, and regulation of gene expression may be assigned to F08. Fellowship applications focused on oncological aspects of genomics, genetics, DNA repair, and regulation of gene expression may be assigned to F09.
With F10 (Physiology and Pathobiology of Organ Systems): Fellowship applications relevant to other aspects of angiogenesis may be assigned to F10; fellowship applications relevant to the role of angiogenesis in cancer pathobiology may be assigned to F09.
F13 (Infectious Diseases and Microbiology): Fellowship applications that focus on viral replication could be assigned to F13. Fellowship applications concerning viral oncogenesis could be assigned to F09. |
