List of fellows of the AACR Academy

The American Association for Cancer Research elects classes of fellows to recognize influential scientists in the field of cancer research. After the inagural class, 11 fellows are elected each year in honor of the 11 founders of the AACR.

Six fellows were appointed to Vice President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot Initiative Blue Ribbon Panel. Several are members of the National Academy of Sciences, several have won a Lasker Award, several have won a Nobel Prize, several are HHMI Investigators, and several are past presidents of the AACR.
