Biology of Breast Cancer: A Predoctoral Training Program
Abstract
Implementation of a new predoctoral program in the "Biology of Breast Cancer" has facilitated the training of investigators committed to future careers in the study of breast cancer. The scope of this program has been limited to the training of predoctoral (i.e., Ph.D. and M.D., Ph.D.) candidates. USAMRDC support for this program has resulted in the development of a truly outstanding, multidisciplinary, didactic curriculum in tumor biology, which includes a strong emphasis in breast cancer. To date, 16 trainees have matriculated into this new training program. Two trainees have successfully completed this training program and have left the Mayo Clinic to continue their training/careers in breast cancer research. All of the remaining trainees are conducting breast cancer relevant thesis research and continue to make excellent progress in their studies. This final report includes the product of our last task (i.e., Task 6) of our original statement of work which is a formal written evaluation, and also includes the comments of our two external reviewers (see Appendix).
