A Comprehensive Postdoctoral Training Program in Breast Cancer
Abstract
The Comprehensive Postdoctoral Training Program in Breast Cancer Biology has successfully completed its third year. The goal of the program is to significantly extend our existing, highly successful Doctoral Training Program in Tumor Biology and several Cancer Center mechanisms that provide traditional postdoctoral training and junior faculty career development. The education and training of new investigators is essential to our progress in the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. The Postdoctoral Training Program in Breast Cancer provides comprehensive career development and integrates interactive research in the basic biology of breast cancer, formal and informal course work in key areas, and individualized guidance in career development. The program is enriched with both new and existing courses of interest to postdoctoral fellows covering scientific writing, teaching methodologies, scientific resources and technologies for cancer research, ethics in science, career development seminar series, and provides a firm foundation in the skills needed to succeed in a career science, as well as a focused research experience in basic breast cancer biology in a strong laboratory environment.
