FNIH Meets with Bill Rancic and the O’Neill Family to Kick-Off the Rancic-O’Neill Renal Cell Cancer

FNIH Meets with Bill Rancic and the O’Neill Family to Kick-Off the Rancic-O’Neill Renal Cell Cancer

On May 18, 2011 the Foundation for the NIH (FNIH) met with Bill Rancic and the O'Neill family to announce that Quinn Weisman was awarded the first Rancic-O’Neill Fellowship.

It was made possible by a partnership between the Dr. Edward T. Rancic Memorial Fund and the Dean R. O’Neill Renal Cell Cancer Fund, in support of research for renal cell carcinoma - or kidney cancer - at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Both Dean R. O’Neill and Dr. Edward Rancic participated in an experimental cancer trial at the NIH. Their families established these memorial funds to provide support for Dr. Childs’ research which focuses on utilizing the immune system to eradicate cancer. Coordinated by the Foundation, the families have now joined together to form the Rancic-O’Neill Fellowship.

The Rancic-O’Neill Fellowship provides for a post-baccalaureate researcher in the lab of Dr. Richard Childs at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Research conducted in this lab focuses on the development of new treatments for renal cell cancer, a deadly form of cancer whose incidence is increasing in the general population. The Rancic-O’Neill fellowship, working in partnership with the FNIH and the NHLBI, will provide critical support for kidney cancer research by sponsoring top-notch candidates to the NIH to pursue novel and promising immune-based treatments for kidney cancer.
