NYU Langone Fellowship Program
With Your Support Our Partnership Is A Reality
Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program
In 2000, the Frances Pope Memorial Foundation joined in partnership with NYU Langone Medical Center to support their Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program. The mission of the post-doctoral fellowship program at NYU Langone Medical Center is to train the next generation of bright, highly motivated clinician-scientists who are dedicated to the practice of comprehensive, compassionate, and research-driven care for children with malignancies and blood disorders. Led by Fellowship Director, Matthias Karajannis, MD, and Associate Director, Elizabeth Roman, MD, the NYU Langone Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Training Program is a three-year program, accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, which provides the graduates with comprehensive training in hematology and oncology. These fellows are the future of pediatric care. Our goal is that one day there will be a cure for cancer and this program and many others like it are a stepping stone towards that goal.
