Parker Scholars, Bridge Fellows and Senior Fellows

Since our inception, we’ve been planning for the future. And the brightest young investigators in cancer immunotherapy are the future. In 2016, we launched the Parker Scholars, Parker Bridge Fellows and Parker Senior Fellows to support the most ambitious early career researchers. Risk-taking is required. New thinking is mandatory. We challenge them to explore their boldest ideas to propel the field forward. We equip them with cutting-edge tools and technologies. We give them access to data from clinical trials and pre-published papers. We connect them with leading researchers and their peers in cancer immunotherapy. We do our part so they can focus on advancing their science. The end goal: a future where we don’t have to fear cancer.
