The Rosenkranz Foundation supported The Rosenkranz Career Development Award in Cancer Immunovirotherapy at Mayo Clinic: "Travis Grotz, M.D. (CI ’12, S ’15, CTSA ’25), Division of Hepatobiliary and Pancreas Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, received the Rosenkranz Career Development Award in Cancer Immunovirotherapy — a three-year Mayo Clinic Career Development Award supported by benefactors. Dr. Grotz’s application is 'Phase Ib Trial of Intraperitoneal Interleukin-2 and Systemic PD-1 Inhibition in Patients with Gastric Cancer and Peritoneal Metastatis.' Dr. Grotz is an assistant professor of surgery in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science."

Dr. Grotz said about his latest research: "For too long peritoneal metastasis has been without much focus, and I feel compelled by my patients to optimize this opportunity with the Rosenkranz Career Development Award to advance our knowledge of this deadly condition and to improve outcomes for patients. It is my patients who serve as my greatest inspiration, and I am indebted to them for their trust."
