The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) named William Kim, MD, the recipient of its 2014 Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Award.

Kim, associate professor of medicine, urology and genetics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, will use the $300,000, 2-year grant to support his projected titled “Immune Characterization of High-Grade Bladder Cancer.”

The award is intended to support an exceptionally novel and creative project with great potential to produce breakthroughs in the management of bladder cancer.

Kim received the ASCO Young Investigator Award in 2002 and the Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator Award in 2009. He also is an NCI-funded researcher.

BCAN also provided $300,000 worth of grants to three recipients of the organization’s Young Investigator Award. Recipients are: Sunny Guin, PhD, postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado at Denver; Ryoichi Saito, MD, PhD, research associate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Dmitriy Zamarin, MD, PhD, hematology/oncology fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
