In January, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) announced the 2024 class of Fellows of the AACR Academy. The newly elected Fellows were formally recognized during the AACR Annual Meeting 2024 opening ceremony.
The AACR Academy selects Fellows whose work has led to great progress and innovation in cancer research. The nomination and election process involves a multistep peer review process that is designed to assess each candidate’s accomplishments to determine if an individual has made a significant contribution to cancer research.
“We are very proud to announce the election of 30 new Fellows of the AACR Academy this year. These scientific pioneers from around the globe have fundamentally shaped cancer research through their respective scientific accomplishments,” said Margaret Foti, PhD, MD (hc), chief executive officer of the AACR. “The 2024 class of Fellows includes leaders from many scientific disciplines and areas of study who have collectively contributed to the improvement of the understanding and treatment of cancer.”
Fellows of the AACR Academy help support the AACR’s mission by using research, education, communication, collaboration, science policy, advocacy, and funding to prevent and cure cancer.
