Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center has announced the recipients of the 2023 Dr. Eddie Méndez Scholar Award, which recognizes early-career underrepresented minority scientists and scientists with disabilities.
The eight postdoctoral awardees represent a range of research institutions across the U.S. and are experts in a variety of subjects including tumor interactions with the immune system, cell signaling in obesity and links between parasites and cancer.
“We congratulate this year’s Méndez scholars, whose extraordinary scientific accomplishments are revealing important insights on health,” said Dr. Christopher Li, co-director of the award program and vice president of faculty affairs and diversity at Fred Hutch.
