Molecular Biology of Breast Neoplasia

Abstract

The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University is an NCI-funded comprehensive cancer center. One of the major accomplishments for the Cancer Center has been to establish a nationally recognized program in breast cancer in both laboratory research and clinical activity. Most notably, the Cancer Center successfully competed for a SPORE in Breast Cancer from the NCI in September 2000. In September 2000 the Cancer Center received a four year award from the U.S. Army for comprehensive training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows conducting breast cancer relevant research entitled, 'The Molecular Biology of Breast Neoplasia' (DAMD17-00-1-0386). In Year 01 the Selection Committee reviewed applications and assisted in the selection of 4 graduate students and two postdoctoral fellows for appointment to the Training Program. Trainees and mentors actively participated in the weekly meetings of the Breast Cancer Journal Club, as well as Cancer Center seminars, symposium and Breast SPORE meetings. Year 02 appointments have just been completed.
