Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation Endowed Fellows
At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY
The Lauri Strauss Leukemia Research Fully Endowed Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, designed for a clinical investigator in leukemia and allied cancers, offers academically oriented physician training in medicine with clinical investigation and basic science research.
This endowment provides funding for training in comprehensive care of the patient. Established in 1997 twelve Fellows have been working on fifteen individual Projects.
