F09: Oncological Sciences

[ F09 Roster ]


The F09 panel 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. Specific areas covered by F09 include:

  • Cancer prevention and diagnosis
  • Cancer genetics, genomics, proteomics and biomarkers/signatures 
  • Cancer etiology, progression, and metastasis
  • Gene regulation, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, signal   transduction pathways in oncogenesis
  • Chemical and viral carcinogenesis
  • Cancer-related DNA damage and repair, genomic instability 
  • Signal transduction mechanisms in transformation and tumor progression
  • Cancer therapy including immunotherapy, gene therapy, radiation therapy, drug discovery and molecular pharmacology
  • Cancer immunology
