2026 Ross Prize Symposium: CAR-T Cells for Cancer and Beyond

The Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine was established in conjunction with the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and Molecular Medicine to recognize biomedical scientists whose discoveries have transformed how medicine is practiced.

The awardees are mid-career researchers who have significantly impacted the understanding of human disease pathogenesis and/or treatment. Moreover, it is anticipated that they will continue to make profound advances in the general field of molecular medicine.

The 13th annual Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine is awarded jointly to Drs. Carl June and Michel Sadelain for their pioneering work in developing CAR T-cell therapy for cancer treatment.

Dr. June’s and Sadelain’s complementary work has led to the groundbreaking form of personalized cancer immunotherapy that modifies T cells from a patient’s immune system with synthetic receptors called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). These receptors enable them to recognize and selectively destroy cancer cells when infused back into the patient’s body. CAR T-cell technology has revolutionized how physicians treat leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, and is now showing promise in treating autoimmune and infectious diseases.

Join us in celebrating Dr. June’s and Dr. Sadelain’s innovative, award-winning research on June 11th.

Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research

The Feinstein Institutes is the home of the research institutes of Northwell Health, the largest health care provider in New York, now also serving the Hudson Valley and western Connecticut. Encompassing 50 research labs, 5,000 clinical research studies and 6,300 researchers and staff, the Feinstein Institutes raises the standard of medical innovation through its six institutes of behavioral science, bioelectronic medicine, cancer, health system science, molecular medicine and translational research. We make breakthroughs in genetics, oncology, brain research, mental health and autoimmunity, and are the global scientific leader in bioelectronic medicine–a new field of science that has the potential to revolutionize medicine.

Molecular Medicine

Molecular Medicine sits at the forefront of its field, rapidly disseminating discovery in the genetic, molecular, and cellular basis of physiology and disease across a broad range of specialties. With over two decades of experience publishing to a multidisciplinary audience, and continually celebrating innovation through the ‘Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine’ and ‘Anthony Cerami Award in Translational Medicine’, the journal strives towards the design of better molecular tools for disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
