STOFF 2022
Society for Translational Oncology Fellows’ Forum (STOFF) was an intensive 3-day workshop that occurred Thursday, August 18 – Saturday, August 20, 2022, bringing together 25 fellows and junior faculty within 5 years of training completion from leading medical, surgical, radiation, and pediatric oncology groups and subspecialty fellowships to educate these rising stars on issues around and barriers to successful translational cancer research.
Congratulations to our 2022 Fellows
Our Fellows | Our Faculty | Agenda
This forum is internationally acclaimed for its focused, practical, and personal approach. It provides guidance to oncology fellows and junior faculty regarding how to apply translational research findings in tumor biology to improve patient outcomes. The broad-based curriculum covers a range of topics related to new drug development.
A special thank you to the 2022 STOFF co-chairs Dr. Keith Flaherty (Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School), Dr. Ross Levine (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), and Dr. Stacey Berg (Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children’s Cancer Center) for their leadership and direction.
