A Comprehensive Postdoctoral Training Program in Breast Cancer

Abstract

The goal of this training 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 program integrates faculty from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center programs in Cancer Prevention and Control and Cancer Genetics, 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. To date, 8 fellows have been recruited into the program (4 classes) and 4 new courses of study were added to our program. Fellows have published 8 papers and 3 abstracts, and 2 fellows went on to academic faculty jobs; other fellows in the program continue to make good career development progress.
