The Developmental Therapeutics – Lurie Cancer Center (DT-LCC) clinic accelerates the continuum of pre-clinical, translational, and clinical science thus delivering more effective treatment approaches of cancer. A core component of DT-LCC’s mission is the nurturing of physician-scientist and clinical researcher colleagues who will focus their work on developmental therapeutics. The DT-LCC Postgraduate Hematology/Oncology Developmental Therapeutics Fellowship is a one or two-year program dedicated to training and mentoring our colleagues and is administered through the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University. DT-LCC faculty and graduates now serve in diverse positions at Northwestern, in other academic institutions and/or in the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries. DT-LCC fellows play a central role in many aspects of developmental therapeutics from designing pre-clinical experiments through collaborations with basic scientists, development of clinical trial concepts, study implementation and execution in a wide spectrum of malignancies.

DT-LCC fellows are appointed based upon evidence of both exceptional ability and commitment to a physician-scientist or clinical researcher career in cancer-related developmental therapeutics. This position suits individual that have completed a recognized hematology/oncology fellowship and is seeking to enhance their academic careers in clinical research.
