“The 2019 class of elected Fellows encompasses 22 giants in the field of cancer research, and we are thrilled to have them join the ranks of the prestigious AACR Academy,” said Dr. Margaret Foti, chief executive officer of the AACR. “Through groundbreaking work across the entire cancer continuum, these individuals have contributed immensely to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. We look forward to their induction and to celebrating their enduring global impact on cancer research.”
