Leslie L. Robison, PhD, chair of the department of epidemiology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, received the 2014 Pediatric Oncology Award from ASCO.

The award recognizes the career and achievement of individuals who contribute outstanding scientific work — laboratory, clinical or epidemiologic — of major importance to pediatric oncology.

Robison, who joined St. Jude in 2005, also serves as associate director for cancer prevention and control, as well as co-leader of the cancer prevention and control program.

Robison served as the founding principal investigator for the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, a multi-institutional study that collected health survey information from more than 35,000 childhood cancer survivors. This effort created one of the most comprehensive bodies of information ever assembled for childhood cancer survivors.

Robison also helped develop the St. Jude LIFE study, which provides comprehensive medical assessments of long-term childhood cancer survivors treated at St. Jude.
