His studies of cell transfer immunotherapy using tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) have resulted in durable complete remissions in patients with advanced solid cancers. He has also pioneered the development of gene therapy and was the first to successfully insert foreign genes into humans.

As Chief, Dr. Rosenberg also oversees the Branch’s extensive clinical program aimed at translating scientific advances into effective immunotherapies for patients with advanced cancers arising from the breast, gastrointestinal tract, and pancreas.

Friends at NIH is honored to support the work of Dr. Rosenberg and patients receiving treatment at the clinical center, National Cancer Institute, NIH. Our partnership with NCI is a vital program in support of patients and research.

The NIH, Clinical Center Social Work Dept.

For 40 years, Friends at NIH has partnered with the Social Work department at the NIH Clinical Research center to identify patients and families in need.

The NIH Clinical Center Social Work Department assists patients and their families with personal and social problems related to illness and hospitalization. Many Clinical Center patients and families are far from their traditional networks of aid and comfort. The Social Work Department staff eases the admission process, addresses problems that arise during treatment, and facilitates re-entry into the community. We provide counseling, discharge planning, concrete resources, and community resource linkage to Clinical Center patients.
