Ovarian Cancer Training Program at the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal was to create an ovarian cancer training program that was designed to expose postdoctoral fellows to a mentored research environment in various fields of biology. Specific research projects were to be focused on problems relevant to ovarian cancer biology. The program has been successful in identifying three postdoctoral fellows who were placed in highly successful laboratories of molecular oncology, cell biology, and signal transduction. These individuals have all begun a successful period of research with mentoring. In addition all have participated and presented in and ovarian cancer research seminar series focused entirely on ovarian cancer biology. Two of the fellows are continuing their research experience for a second year with grant support due to their success and positive reports from their mentors. The third fellow has received junior faculty funding from the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and will successfully transition off this training grant.
