The sorkin fellowship
The
Sorkin Fellowship
The
next generation of Pediatric surgical Cancer research
For
the past decade and more, Harvey and Donna Sorkin have made an
extraordinary personal commitment to the future of cancer care.
Their investment has led to the "first wave" of anti-angiogenic cancer
therapies for children, and to the seeding of new laboratories led by
pediatric surgical cancer investigators--former
Sorkin Fellows--across the United States.
