Research Training Program in Breast Cancer

Abstract

The goal of this research training program is to produce highly qualified scientists for careers as independent investigators in the field of breast cancer. During the last 25 years, there has been a fundamental revolution in the understanding of molecular and cell biological concepts related to cell growth, function and tumorigenesis. To utilize what has been learned and to continue future progress in the area of breast cancer requires the continued availability of well-trained, innovative and committed scientists. This program represents an interdepartmental training program involving 15 investigators from seven departments. Trainees are predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows with backgrounds in bio- chemistry, cell and molecular biology, molecular genetics and molecular virology. The training program provided trainees with additional foundation in carcinogenesis and breast cancer.
