Breast Cancer Research Training Grant.

Abstract

The purpose of the program is to train predoctoral students at Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health (BUSM, BUSPH) in research into the etiology, prevention, detection, diagnosis and therapy of breast cancer using the most advanced knowledge and techniques available. In addition to providing training in the student's chosen discipline, the program ensures her or his education in other relevant disciplines. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary training in Pathology, Epidemiology, and Cell and Molecular Biology. The goal is that, upon completion of the degree in a particular discipline, trainees will be able to work and communicate effectively with other scientists in interdisciplinary approaches to breast cancer research. This is being accomplished through an interdepartmental curriculum, selection of research supervisors whose research is in breast cancer or highly relevant to breast cancer and participation in monthly seminars.
