The multi-year grant will support Dmitrovsky’s ongoing studies of innovative ways to treat and prevent lung cancer, the number one cause of cancer death for men and women in the United States.

“This is really recognition for my team and for Dartmouth,” says Dmitrovsky. “We’ve made tremendous progress while I’ve been working here due to the collaborative efforts of my outstanding colleagues from Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Dartmouth Medical School, and Dartmouth College. Our team is now moving research findings in lung cancer from the laboratory bench into the clinic.”
