UCSF Head and Neck Medical Oncology Clinical Research Fellowship

Purpose
The UCSF Head and Neck Medical Oncology Clinical Research Fellowship is an opportunity to contribute hands-on in the preparation, publication, and presentation of retrospective research studies and case reports. Working as a team with the primary investigator, Dr. Alain Algazi, fellows will contribute to larger studies developing predictive biomarkers that maximize the odds of patients achieving long-term remission with immunotherapy and other agents. Research fellows will be regular attendees at multidisciplinary tumor conferences, institutional research meetings, and also participate in at least one national meeting as part of their yearlong research.

This fellowship is appropriate for students interested in careers in cancer including medical oncology, head and neck surgery, pathology, and radiation oncology.
