“Through initiatives such as CRI’s annual William B. Coley Award for Distinguished Research in Tumor Immunology, Dr. [Lloyd J.] Old helped recognize and codify important individuals and discoveries in cancer immunology and raised the credibility and visibility of the field, and through the naming of the award raised awareness and appreciation of the history of the field and the seminal role of Dr. William B. Coley, whose daughter, Helen Coley Nauts, founded CRI in 1953.”

Lloyd J. Old (1933-2011) is known as The Father of Modern Tumor Immunology.

That would make William B. Coley The Grandfather of Modern Tumor Immunology

Perhaps (if he’s not proven a fake) Dr. Sam Chachoa will be known as The Son of Modern Tumor Immunology.

Dr. Sam’s Nemesis Theory — “for every disease there is an anti-disease organism capable of destroying it and restoring health” — makes sense.
