A new T32 training grant in cancer neuroscience was awarded to the BWH Department of Neurology in 2023 by the National Cancer Institute. This 5-year award is co-led by Dr. Tracy Batchelor at BWH and Dr. Michael Greenberg from the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School.
The grant supports 2-3 years of post-doctoral trainees studying different aspects of cancer neuroscience including the influence of the neuronal microenvironment on adult and pediatric neural and non-neural cancers as well as the impact of different types of cancer and cancer treatments on the nervous system. The grant supports 6 positions per year and the first cohort of trainees started in August 2023. The initial trainees and their projects are linked below.
