Molecular Biology of Breast Neoplasia.
Abstract
The Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center at Northwestern University is an NCI-funded comprehensive cancer center. The Cancer Center has made significant advances in developing a premier breast cancer program. In September, 1994, the Cancer Center received a four year award from the U.S. ARMY for comprehensive training of graduate students conducting breast cancer relevant research entitled, "Molecular Biology of Breast Neoplasia". This program has successfully trained 12 predoctoral students and 3 postdoctoral fellows, 14 of who are still actively pursuing research careers. Trainees were exposed to the latest developments in breast cancer biology and treatment. Students received laboratory training with senior basic science faculty and clinical investigators provided a translational link. Members of the program participated in a weekly Journal Club and a monthly breast cancer research meeting to augment their research training. The publication record of the trainees is indicative of the success of the Training Grant. The instruction received by the trainees puts them in an ideal position to contribute to advancements in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.
