At the University of Vermont (UVM) Larner College of Medicine, one of our key research areas is cancer. As an integral part of Larner, the UVM Cancer Center (UVMCC) drives discoveries in innovative science, translational investigation, and clinical trials, while advancing cancer control and outcomes across the continuum of cancer care.
Every summer UVMCC supports researchers through competitive stipends that help advance their work and develop their expertise.
This year, out of 20 awards, two standout scholars scored in the top 10 percent of all applicants and earned the distinguished Juckett Summer Fellowship.
