Combined MD/PH D and PH D Training Program in Breast Cancer Prevention

Abstract

The goal of this training program is to significantly extend our existing, highly successful interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Program in Tumor Biology with a new track which integrates genetics, molecular epidemiology, and prevention of breast cancer. This new track offers both MD/PhD and PhD training opportunities, and integrates new faculty from the Lombardi Cancer Center Programs in Cancer Prevention and Control, and Cancer Genetics. The program is enriched by new courses, as well as practical research experience. This programmatic initiative makes use of the existing organizational structure of the interdisciplinary doctoral Training Program in Tumor Biology and incorporates a multi-disciplinary faculty who are devoted to research and education in breast cancer. We have successfully completed our fourth year of the program and recruited our fifth incoming class.
