Breast Cancer Training Program
Abstract
The Breast Cancer Training Program (BCTP) in the Eppley Cancer Institute of the University of Nebraska Medical Center offers predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees a comprehensive training environment in breast cancer by supporting, in part, an outstanding breast cancer seminar program, a short course in cancer biology, a breast cancer focus group and by providing stipend support to trainees performing research that is highly relevant to breast cancer. In years one and two of this award we have provided stipends to five predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. Four of five of the predoctoral trainees have completed their graduate training and have secured postdoctoral positions in outstanding laboratories in research areas directly related to breast cancer. One postdoctoral trainee has moved to another institution and five remain in training. Publications in highly ranked journals are beginning to result from the research of the BCTP trainees. We are currently evaluating a large group of highly qualified applicants for support in year three.
