FCCC Institutional Breast Cancer Training Program (FCCC-IBCTP)
Abstract
The focus of the FCCC Institutional Breast Cancer Training Program (IBCTP) is to integrate the unique talents and interests of the Center's basic scientists, clinical investigators and behavioral scientists to create a comprehensive effort to approach the problems of breast cancer. The IBCTP offers to the postdoctoral trainees' practical experience in the fields of cellular and molecular biology, drug resistance and targeted immunotherapy, genetic epidemiology and control, psychosocial and behavioral medicine, as well as breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. During the fourth year of the grant we have been implementing the training phase of the program by monitoring each of the individual projects. The trainees have been attending at least one general lecture a week from those offered by the FCCC and a special seminar targeted to the formation of the trainees addressing critical subjects in breast cancer. We have established a half-day seminar twice a year in which the trainees present their work in front of the Faculty and the Advisory Panel. In this last year of the program, that ended December 31, 2004, Drs E. Pugacheva, X. Li and H. You, that started in January 1, 20030, have completed the training. The present report reflects their work.
