The Center for Clinical Cancer Genetics and Global Health offers short-term training fellowships for young scientists and physicians from Africa and other underdeveloped regions with experts in the United States. In partnership with the University of Chicago’s Department of Medicine and with funding support from Michael and Lindy Keiser, the Olopade Global Health Fellowship grants recipients the opportunity to train alongside world-renowned researchers and physicians from a variety of disease areas at the University of Chicago. The ultimate goal of the fellowship is that upon return to their native country, fellowship recipients will share and apply the knowledge they gained to improve patient care or advance scientific progress in their native country and around the world.
