SNO International Outreach Research Fellowship
Supported by the American Brain Tumor Association and EMD Serono

The leadership of the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the SNO International Outreach Committee are pleased to announce that Dr. Yi Lin of China has been selected as the first SNO International Outreach Research Fellow.

This fellowship was made possible through the generous support of the American Brain Tumor Association and EMD Serono.

The purpose of this one-year fellowship is to provide a program for professionals from developing regions to perform clinical, translational or basic research in the area of pediatric or adult neuro-oncology in a clinical and/or laboratory setting in the United States or Canada.

Applications were reviewed based on the novelty and scientific merit of the proposed study and the credentials of the applicant, as well as the potential impact to the advancement of neuro-oncology in the applicant’s home country upon completion of the fellowship. The Tufts Medical Center has agreed to host Dr. Lin for the one-year Fellowship period where she will study under the supervision of Dr. Jay-Jiguang Zhu.

The call for applications for the next fellowship cycle will be announced in June, 2010, and details will be available on this website.
